[LeoTheBarber]

Hi guys i rushed buying a helmet and got a horrible colour its a HJC is-17 in orange and black. Thought it was a good idea been seen and shit. but i hate the orange now. I dont want to buy a new one just coz of the colour.

Whats the easiest cheapest way of changing the colour? Spray painting or vynl wrappimg?

Anything you consider make sure it is suitable for the helmets materials so you do not compromise the safety .
