A cheap change you can do yourself is cool.

I just did my half helmet this weekend and it feels the same way.

My helmet still has a very rubber feel to it.

Plasti dip is fun stuff as you can peel it off if you don't like it or just want to see what something would look like blacked out.

I came up with this idea while not being able to sleep the other night...didn't come out perfect but mainly because of plasti-dip being rubber

I ran back over the lines with an x-acto knife before I peeled it but it still ain't perfect...

if I decide to keep the design I'll re-do it with paint...diggin' it so far though

I am trying to figue out how you can regret painting something with a product that comes off with little effort and costs next to nothing.
