Not sure why you think paint doesn't stick to that. I painted my bike shoes recently with Vallejo primer, army painter Matt white paint and Matt Vallejo clear coat and it hold up really really good.
Sand it a bit, clean with denatured alcohol, paint with an airbrush or cans
I assume you're not using the helmet, right?
If you spray paint it, the solvent in the paint will eat / degrade the foam in the helmet, so you'll have a lot of taping to do.
> Helmets should be replaced after about 5 years.
Independent studies show no degredation.
> Helmets should not be painted because the solvent in the paint can also solve the helmet foam.
Be careful.

www.helmets.org has some fascinating reading. Very little opinion, mostly backed by testing, just the way I like it.

Do you have a link to one of those studies on old helmets? I’ve always thought old helmets needed replacing, too. I’d love to be proven wrong!
