Question:

Answers:

what does SIG ALERT mean? I live in California?

if the helmet is made from fibreglass then its perfectly safe to add stickers to it or have it sprayed.if youre in the uk there are loads of sprayers who will do this,expect to pay 200quid plus depending on what design you want putting on it.dont try and do it youreself,if you get spray on the inside of the helmet the polystyrene inner will begin to disintergrate rendering the helmet useless.if the helmet is of the polycarbonate (plastic) type then you cannot have it sprayed as the spray will react with the helmet making it brittle,you shouldnt even put stickers on thease type of helmet.
