Charlie,
I can't help you with the painting question but I do have some info
to pass along. I recently attended an out of region event hosted by the
Mohawk-Hudson Region (Albany, NY area). They provide loaner helmets that
are BLAZE ORANGE! Yes, "cone" colored. Believe me, they stood out, and
would prove very hard to walk away with (and use in public....imagine the
embarrassment!!). I didn't catch the brand but they were open-faced, no
visor. If you'd like I can try and find out where they got them.

San Francisco Region has recently lost about 10-12 helmets due to theft from
those who were supposed to "borrow" them. We need to replace them, and make
both the new ones and those remaining in loaner service somewhat less
desirable.
Does anyone know what the limitations are as to painting currently Solo 2
legal helmets? I seem to remember that there were problems with helmet
shell
integrity, but that it only applied to DOT helmets, not Snell rated ones.
