Errr? ok ! welcome to the forum.
If that bash-hat is tired and scratched, is it no longer usable?
You mention that it`s in really bad condition, how does putting stickers on it help?

Ah right, decoration. Was gonna say, sticking a load of opaque stickers over your visor, seems wise  ____________________ Fzr-600 1999 |

Like I said, WHY?
If its dead, and not fit for purpose, then cut straps and get rid, stop any-one using it & risking thier head.
If it has sentimental value, first hat, then, I would have thought that the battle scars are part of the sentimental value, each telling a story envoking a memory, so stickering it would remove half the value.
However....

You know, taking that hat, and trying to do something you AREN'T good at, even if its not that impressive or exiting, would, to my mind at least have been far MORE interesting than putting up a picture of an old hat, covered in stickers a five year old could have slapped on it, and trying to call it 'Art'...
Maybe I'm a little concervative and old fasioned in that respect... I dont see the asthetic interest or technical artistic skill in an old tyre submarine or a pickled sheep.... nor, sticker clad old hat.
But, I would have been more impressed by some-one trying something difficult, challenging and hard to do, even if they failed to achieve excellence, than something well....?!?! ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

If you're not good at painting then it's all the more reason to do it on a shitty old helmet, you gotta learn somehow
And yes, boring stickers are boring  ____________________ Fzr-600 1999 |

One mechanical Newb, one Cheap Nitro lid that had seen better days.

Aprox an hour later, after a little elbow grease, sand-paper and some masking tape.
https://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x349/snowtigeress/Custom%20Helmet/101_0007.jpg
Five minutes after that, and half a can of primer left over from another job, that would have just gone hard in the tin!
https://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x349/snowtigeress/Custom%20Helmet/101_0010.jpg
Couple of hours later, after hunting out some more left over rattle cans, and getting a bit nifty with some masking tape.
https://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x349/snowtigeress/Custom%20Helmet/101_0017.jpg
Some while after that, removing masking tape....
https://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x349/snowtigeress/Custom%20Helmet/101_0021.jpg
Masking COULD have been a bit more accurate.... stripes dont 'quite' line up at the back... but......
https://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x349/snowtigeress/Custom%20Helmet/101_0025.jpg
this is how we learn, by giving it a go.....
https://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x349/snowtigeress/Custom%20Helmet/101_0034.jpg
Air-brushing a real-art mural was possibly a little ambitiouse, but for the custom effect, 'selected' stickers, used judiciousely and apropriately are a legitimate DIY technique, to get that 'pro' look.
https://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x349/snowtigeress/the%20pup/101_0042.jpg
One day later, laquered in and finished, with the bike that it was intended to be worn on....
Yeah... I had personal involvement with that hat, though it's not mine but Snowie's.. I just gave her the encouragement and offered advice. And yeah, its not perfect, as said stripes dont quite line up, and using pre-made decals is a bit of a 'cheat'... BUT.... imagination, she wanted something 'retro' that matched her bike; she wanted something sort of mural-arty, with a wolf theme, and she had a crack.
Took about two days, and used basically left over materials, apart from the mural decals that were something like £3
It needn't be expensive, it needn't take a huge number of months or hours of pains-taking preperation and attension to detail; it needn't take HUGE amounts of imagination or skill, or experience.
It JUST takes a little effort and enthusiasm, and the bravery to have a go.
And sorry we haven't all leapt up all enthusiastically saying how wonderful your hat looks, which you may have hoped for, but come on?
If its not worth anything, its just a dead hat; BURN IT and be done. IF you want to do something with it, do something worth while and actually creative with it. If its worth sticking on your shelf, then its worth the effort. If not its a bit of kindling taking up good house space! ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

Old 02-27-2012, 07:55 AM. malokam is offline malokam ... Don't forget to sticker bomb your helmet, so it matches the bike! ... Im sending my extras for his cause but I still might need some myself to wrap everything up with this mini project.
