Hello Folks
I've been asked to paint a Bell open face helmet. The shell is something called "Tri-Matrix Composite". The Bell website indicates the helmet can be painted with acrylics;
"WARNING about PAINTING !
Paint can react with helmet shell material and affect its protective capacity. The outer shell of the helmet is constructed of thermo set composite materials and finished with a polyurethane coating. It should only be repainted by an experienced and qualified painter with high quality air drying acrylic or polyurethane enamel. In no case should the helmet be dismantled during painting. Paint requiring heat curing should not be used. Paint penetrating the interior of the helmet can affect the performances of the helmet liner and other components."
The owner wants to match specific Kawasaki colours .
This seems a pretty popular helmet so I'm just wondering if anyone had painted one before with a successful paint system so I don't have to re-invent the wheel?
TIA
