Some paint dissolves polystyrene, which is I think why it's mostly considered a big no no. I hope you've researched this.

The paint is advertised as for bike/car plastic parts etc, so I’m hoping it’s ok.

It’s a spare helmet, and I’m willing to give it a go. I asked on here, I think, a while back, and it seemed to be quite popular.

I’m not overly cautious about things but there is no way I would risk that.

I would if I had a helmet that ugly. 😁
