Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 Does anyone know what type of paint you should use to decorate the helmet? Also, does any paint come off when you clean with the alcohol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 Hello, I'm actually having my son's helmet professionally painted this week. All I know, they requested to keep the helmet over night to insure that the color would not chip, peel, or crack. I'll know more details next week. My husband is just thrilled that JT will be sporting his college logo (Notre Dame). ckskinner@... on 05/29/2000 10:45:13 PM Please respond to Plagiocephalyegroups Plagiocephalyegroups cc: (bcc: -Schloesser/SHI) Subject: decorating the helmet Does anyone know what type of paint you should use to decorate the helmet?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Hi Ann, Welcome to the group. My favorites to use were the clear backed stickers from the scrapbooking stores. They stayed on well and peeled off easily once I wanted to change themes. Good luck with your daughter's fitting. Please let us know how it goes. Natasha > First I'd like to say " hi " .

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Hi Ann, My son wore his helmet for 21 weeks, and I was a nut about changing his stickers on a regular basis. The easiet to use were the clear backed stickers, but often I just used regular paper backed ones (they were the ones that best fit my theme for the week) and used Goo gone to remove the residue. > First I'd like to say " hi " .

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I used Suzi's Zoo white back stickers from s and the goo gone did work when I replaced one. If you put clear finger nail polish on around the edges, it will help keep them from lifting. Good Luck. > First I'd like to say " hi " .

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Hi Ann, Welcome to the group. My favorite stickers are the Me and My Big Ideas ones and the brush letters by Susy Ratto. Both are clear backed and are available at www.scrapbookbargain.com. I also use glossy mod podge to seal them in better. There are pics of some of the themes I have done for Hannah in the " Hannah B " folder. The clear ones come off easiest, but you can use paper backed ones and use a little goo gone to help get the residue off. , mom to Hannah, DOC #3 3/30 Cape Cod, Ma > First I'd like to say " hi " .
