Helmet Paint Inside?

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Just wanted some imput about painting inside of TK helmets black, noticed a few people do it, what do most of you think?

I think it's really cool to have a nice white bucket on the inside. I like the foam star liner a chinstrap and a lens taped in.

and then you can always go grey and white, with ducts, and internals like a "real" one.

or you can go black with baseball helmet pads.

Waste of time.

Does not serve any purpose.

I disagree with the above posts. While the inside of my bucket is white I wish I would have painted it black. I like the idea of kids not being able to look up and see anything but black!

I always do it, and it does serve a purpose. It blocks a lot of light from coming up into your helmet and therefore letting children see straight up into your helmet and see your face.

I did it because of what was mentioned above. Makes it harder to see your face. Used a rubberized truck bed liner spray. I'll do it to all my helmets. As many as my wife will allow that is.

No paint inside my Helmet so far. But maybe someday, I will try that with a New Helmet.

Right now, i am ok with it.

White all the way. To each their own, for different reasons, & thats cool with me, but they were left white in the movies.

Black everytime for a costume that is to be worn for me. I think it looks better when you can see up into the helmet and also looks much nicer when the helmet is not being worn. Just my opinion though.

I agree with that. If it's just going to be a display piece, for me it's fine not to do it.

 

There are a lot of things I do to my armor because I will be wearing it that I wouldn't do if it was just going to sit on a mannequin and look pretty.

I wear a baclava and you can't see my face because my neckseal almost completely seals.

large neck.
