It won't turn on. Is there any hope, or is it ruined?
No you dufus! You have to use only approved ASTM certified goggles and masks. Leather wont keep your face from getting hurt, and shop goggles, give me a break. No reputable paintball field would ever let you play with that set up.
cabinet or trophy shops will be a good choice, but i recommend doing it your self. faster easier and cheaper. Heres how Difficulty: Moderately Easy InstructionsThings You'll Need: Spray paint (in your favorite team colors) New decals Razor knife Dust mask Leather gloves Safety glasses Rough sandpaper Old bedsheet Adjustable wrench Heavy craft paper Painter's tape Step 1Lay out all of your supplies outdoors on the bedsheet. Use the wrench to remove the face guard, and set it aside. Cover the inside of your helmet with craft paper and tape the edges with painter's tape. Step 2Use your razor knife to gently lift the edges of any decals still on the outer part of the helmet. Be sure to note the location and angle of the decals so that you can replace them properly. Discard all of the old decals after you've removed them. Step 3Sand the outside of your helmet with rough sandpaper to even out any deep gouges and to ruff up the surface so that the paint will stick. Wipe away any excess dust and debris with a clean corner of the sheet. Step 4Hold your spray can 8 to 12 inches from the surface of the helmet. Press the button and move the can from side to side while painting with short blasts. Coat the entire helmet with a light coat of paint. Allow this first coat to dry for one hour. Step 5Coat the helmet with a second coat of paint. Use short blasts and move the can smoothly from side to side. Allow this coat to dry overnight. Step 6Apply new decals to your helmet. Remove the backing and lay one end onto the helmet and slowly spread the entire decal on to the surface. Remember to use the same placement as that of the old decals. Remove the tape and paper from the inside of the helmet. Replace the face guard. Strap on the helmet and play some football.
if you dont mind dirty water all over you then go for it it also comes out hard so that could hurt
