    Marco, I probably should not be saying this to a health and safety expert, but the helmets are designed to collapse internally to absorb impact when the outside hits something hard, to protect the head. Even if the outside is not really damaged, the helmet may not protect you in the same way as it did last time. The recommendation is to change the helmet after any impact. Airbrushing the outside also could possible cause some stress cracking of the polycarbonate, which again may not be visible until stressed. Not wishing to be a doom and gloom merchant, and if you already aware of all that fine, forgive me for mentioning it.; but I must say it does look very striking.

    Buy a New Shark Helmet Marco! Helmets should be Discarded after any sort of Major Impact, I recall reading paint is a No No as well?
