What sort of ballpark for a single colour?

Mine is gloss black and has matt black details and it's boring.

Robin - dont take this the wrong way (seems I have a habit of saying things in a manner that offends)

Is the helmet worth painting?

If its a failry cheap hemlet < £300 I think it would just be wiser to get a new helmet that you like.

Probably not

It's a Scorpion EXO 1000, it's not an expensive helmet at all.

Hes not meaning painted helmets, Hes meaning helmets designed for bikers, Car racing needs a proper car helmet vs a bike helmet.
