i have a black arai, and want to paint a yellow cross on it, so it will look like the st davids cross on it,
so basicly it will be the same as the condor st george but black and yellow instead of red and white. so what paint do i need, i dont want to spend much money, so i intend to DIY done a bit of a search but not realy found what i was looking for |

Give some signwriting tape a try first to see if you like it. If the tape is applied properly you may find that's all you need to do.

I'd either get it done properly or use stickers. Doing it yourself could possibly end in disaster and ruin a helmet.

i was thinking of that, but i would need 2inch wide tape, and as the helmet is a sphere, ...... would it stick? as you would have all crease marks?

you can get it what ever width you want, if you spray soapy water on under it you can position them where you want , then when happy use a squeegee or credit card to squeeze the water out and leave to dry find a sign shop or go to a sign writers (2nd be more expensive) in town ect and ask him to run you a 2 inch strip enough to do what you want done |
