    Can anyone recommend Paint for a Shoei Helmet?

    Can anyone recommend Paint for a Shoei Helmet (XR1000)?

    Just wondering what would be the best Paint to use on a Shoei Helmet?
    What type of paint?
    What brand?
    What clearcoat?
    Best place to buy the above from?

    I saw on a forum somewhere a reply from Shoei US they suggested a pro do it, but they said enamel acrylic is what they recommend.
    What would you say about that Pete?
    I've never painted anything, maybe a picture or 2.

    Finally got sick of internet research and ordered a helmet painting DVD, so hopefully that will help get me on the right track.
    Some of the stuff I read was people using aerosol cans, using hi temp cans... Some really rough shit.
