Default New Helmet Design! Sharpie!

Well I wanted something new, and am in love with the Lamborghini with the sharpie design, so got a sharpie, and went to work, always was into art, so thought an "art helmet" might be cool lol

It will fade over time probably. I used a black sharpie on my hood and it faded off in about two weeks. Though a helmet will see less UV than a hood will.

I'm not sure what that design is, but it's pretty cool you took the initiative....

spray some clear coat over it, if you really like the design...

Yeah I am spraying clear coat on it. The design is just...out there, there is a dragon/snake thing on the top you can see on the top view, there are two faces thrown in you can't see in the pics, and some other things.

Not sure about yours but my helmet said not to paint it. Something about the petroleum in the paint could weaken it.

Sharpie does not = paint

No matter what though, all the helmets I've seen are already painted.

I think he meant about clearcoating it.

Clear = paint.

I'm not positive, but I don't think that's correct. I'm fairly sure its a different compound.
