Can I safely customise my helmet with paint or graphics?

In-depth explanation

Some paints and solvents can weaken shell materials or coatings; always use helmet-safe paints or have custom work performed by professionals familiar with helmet materials. Avoid solvents that contact EPS or compromise stickers near vents. When in doubt, use vinyl wraps or stickers approved by the helmet maker.
