General consensus throughout the web is House of Kolors..though in my lil redneck area (proud of it :^) ) The selection gets limited.
FIRST and foremost see what material your helmet is made of… ABS plastic… go with paints that are made to bond with plastic… even get a bond promoter if you can find it. Primer… a very neutral flat color. To dark and it can adversly effect the shade of paint your using. Remembered that lil trick from the few auto paint shops I’ve been to.
Me I went to auto zone……the Metal Flake Blue (which the picture doesn’t show off well) is By Dupli-Color and is their Metal Specks brand. The black is a Gloss Black from Krylon (yea yea Krylon and duct tape… redneck accessories)….. their Fusion line.
Of course again… all this depends on your Helmets make up.
I am going back over it with a clear coat sealer from the local Michaels craft store.
I also bought a roll of brushed aluminum pin stripping from Auto Zone…. 1/8 inch thickness…. as of right now…. after I pull the masking tape I will see if I use it or not.
Hopefully a near finished picture to be updated tomorrow…atleast after first coat of the clear coat.
