Demon Thieves have a lot.

Not sure about karting regulations but motor sport generally needs a BS6658-85 approval. Most motorcycle helmets don't meet this standard.

You can't paint a polycarbonate helmet - it melts the helmet material. You might be able to paint a fibreglass one but you should probably check with the manufacturers.

Cheers

What value do you put on head?

Get the very best you can afford, but saying that, do some research as well, even the dead expensive ones can get poor reviews.

2 pence well deposited!
