What kind of paint can you use on helmets? Is there a way to paint them weekly to keep them fresh?

I assume you're talking about doing it yourself: out of liability concerns, I wouldn't.

www.schuttsports.com/aspx/FAQ/FAQ.aspx?id=1Q. I want to paint my football helmet myself is that ok? A. We strongly recommend that Schutt® Sports Mfg. Co. or one of it’s approved NAERA member reconditioners apply the new paint, because of the very specific procedures that are required. Please contact Schutt® Sports Customer Service Department for information on approved reconditioner: 1-800-426-9784. If your football helmet has labeling that says ”DO NOT PAINT” please do not attempt to paint it. If your helmet does not say this the approve paints are as follows: Color-Set INC, WURDACK, INC, Sherwin Williams Corp, AKZO/Sikkens, DuPont Corp, & Createx Brand.

Looked into this one year myself and was told that it would likely void the warranty of the helmet, only because depending on the chemicals in the paint might weaken the shell. Land of the lawyer...

check with the university of michigan equipment staff, i saw that repaint the wings on the helmets with a brush when they get messed up. You might be able to get the paint from Riddell or Schutt.
We do not get our helmets painted because I hate to see teams with flaked off helmets with different colors.

Anyone have any idea what it costs to have the reconditioners paint the helmets?

It has added $10 per helmet in recon costs for us.

to "freshen" the helmets up, use a paint pen. Remember, once you paint them, you will have to paint them the life of the helmet.
