We bought an old beater Chevy passenger van for our tailgate and I'm wanting to paint some helmet stripes down the center from front to back. Any recommendations on automotive paint? Also tips would be appreciated. Van is white.

Just use Plasti Dip and painters tape to mask the stripes. There are a ton of tutorials on youtube.

Get the wrap place to make a big purple stripe and two of the round retro helmet symbols and do the van like the white helmets. That would be pretty cool actually.*


*Until Alleva sees it and tries to charge you royalties on the designs. Gratuitous frick that guy inserted here.
