Default Custom Painted/Stickered Helmets - What did you do?

So you find the helmet that fits great and suits your needs only to find that the color scheme is not what you want. Have you altered your helmet? Custom painted, stickers, or even used that plastidip paint stuff. What did you do and show us your helmet.

For me I wanted to be a bit more visible at night so I put reflective stickers on mine. Also had my girlfriend use sharpie paint pens to put the 13 on it (my Slim is a 2013).

I bought a HJC brand DOT half helmet and put stickers all over it. I grew out of that so I pulled the stickers off and painted it. I tapped off the trim and spray painted it with flat black spray paint. Looks pretty good from 3 feet away. Think I paid $50 for it when it was new and looks just as good as the $120 Harley brand helmets.

I had reflective stickers on my helmets in the 70s because it was a requirement. Now, I'd only put something on there that didn't show during the day but shined at night...if there's such of a thing.

I put strips of black electrical / insulating tape across the top of my visors as a sun visor it works great . other than that I just clean them with furniture polish from a rattle can brings them up like new . I only wear black helmets I got a black visor for my shoei full face it looks almost too cool and I have seen some people get a bit freaked out over it .
