I recently just purchased an HJC AC-12 black helmet for real cheap. Its basically brand new except that paint is scraped off on the left side of the chin guard; and 4 inches long and a half inch wide. So it's an all black helmet with a white line on the chin.... So my question is, How do i paint that? I'm not looking for something perfect, but just to make it black so it blends in. Would i have to buy plastic paint, sand it? What do i have to do? Thanks, Nate

Sounds like more of a scratch if its that big, but you can buy auto paint that shoudl adhere.

umm yes it will, just because the paint is scratchs off doesn't mean the helmet is trashed?

No, but it means if it hit the ground (or anything for that matter) in any way, it is!!!

exactly, helmets are built to be structurally sound for ONE crash. after that it may not hold up if you wreck.
So if it's scratched because the guy "took one to the face" then it's junk, chuck it.

Yep, sorry to say but they are right. Even if you arent sure are you willing to risk your life over 100 bucks for a new lid?
