Are You Telling Me Painting A Helmet Has Been This Easy This Whole Time?

For years I have been wearing the same, plain white racing helmet. Why? It’s not because I wanted a plain white racing helmet; it’s because I assumed that painting one was an arduous process only doable by professionals. And I’ve been wrong this whole time?

This is Will Roegge of the excellent Keep Drifting Fun. He has a brain bucket for low-speed drifting as you normally see on little tracks in Japan. It’s black, or at least it was before he hit it with some metallic purple, metal flake and a lot of clear coats.

I have a spare(ish) old helmet that I have lying around. If it’s really this easy, I’m going to make it sparkle green this weekend and curse myself for not doing it sooner.
