Whats with all the grit?

If you want a great lacquer that also happens to be petrol resistant, buy some 2k clearcoat (its a duel compound and its pretty awesome)

Just be aware that some paints can cause plastic to weaken. You'll find out if there was a problem when you bounce it off the floor.

Tell you what, I sprayed my zzr outside, in 6 degree temperature, a week before the snow set in. Here's how it looked.

You gotta do the most to keep it grit free, I went by the side of my house down the driveway and I was okay. Granted, rain ruined my lacquer the first time round, So second time I covered it after 3 hrs of touch dry, covered it for four days, then I sat it in a shed with fan heater at 20deg for 12 hours.

Paint looks very low quality how long did the prep take?

You must be mad to use that after you have sprayed solvent over it, you have no idea how its affected the structure of the material.

If you used paint from poundland then I will 100% guarantee you it will come off. I got some poundland paint to paint some poundland guns for a fancy dress outfit. The paint didn't last 5 mins so I went out and spent £3.50 on a very small tin of fairly decent spray paint. Even that came off eventually.

Best stuff I've used so far is hycote. (£5.20 a can)

And that lacquer is 2K clearcoat, I can scratch as hard as i want on my newly painted lid and It will not mark it.

It’s not normally the quality of the paint that makes it flake it the poor prep work that goes into it.

Well I used the lid today in .. pretty cold weather and tonight in even colder weather where moisture just saps onto everything from the air.

No cracking or chips.. Helmet still seem structurally sound.

Considering the helmet is basically 3 layers, the outershell is just plastic with an airgap being the second layer between that and the protective layer.

I see no negative effects from painting it... so as far as I'm concerned it's safe enough to use
