Can I Spray Paint a football helmet?

Or will the paint chip, if not what else can you use to paint a football helmet?Can I Spray Paint a football helmet?
You should have approved NAERA member reconditioners apply the new paint, because of the very specific procedures that are required. If your football helmet has labeling that says ”DO NOT PAINT”, do not attempt to paint it. If your helmet does not say this the approved paints are as follows: Color-Set INC, WURDACK, INC, Sherwin Williams Corp, AKZO/Sikkens, DuPont Corp, %26amp; Createx Brand





If you don't want it done by an expert, you should at least learn the correct procedures, and be confident in your ability to complete them before attempting it. AWTTWCan I Spray Paint a football helmet?
You could, not sure if it would chip if you did it this way but you could try and see.





If i was doing this i would sand it down good and scuff it up so the paint has something to stick too. Then lay down a coat of a good primer. Then you can do your base layer of whatever color you want. The primer is key here as that is what your paint will be sticking to.
Not if you plan on using it in a game. Helmets have to be certified and reconditioned by trained technicians using approved paints and methodologies. Otherwise, you could damage the shell and rob it of some of its shock absorbing qualities.
you can but it will scuff over time.
It will chip
