What's wrong with the pink helmet we did one for Middlesex for their Stanford T20 but they weren't brave enough and all went for blue lol as pictured on the left :)

Will knock one up this week and we can see what the effect is like then if it doesn't work will have to strip it back down and start again!

you need to spray it from an even distance over the helmet otherwise you will get blotches and patches where the paint runs, takes some practice to get it right. If your using normal spraypaint for cars etc do it in short sharp bursts rather than once continuous spray as this will lead to overload of the paint and drips forming again!

should be a distance of half a metre i would say should give you good coverage, try using an cross hatch format so you dont end up with an uneven coating.
