How to Design Your Own Lacrosse Helmet

Lacrosse helmets are designed to have a great deal of customization in the form of easily swappable parts. Sometimes however, if you switch teams or simply are looking for a change, you may wish to design a new look for your helmet without spending money on parts. Fortunately, this is a cheap process which can be completed at home for far less money than purchasing new equipment.

Things You'll Need

• Paper
• Pencil
• Screwdriver
• Newspaper
• Masking tape
• Gloss finish spray paint, desired colors

Instructions

1. Sketch your helmet from the front, back and side, or print off an outline of the helmet design from your helmet's manufacturer.

2. Color your sketch with your desired design. These sketches will ensure that you like the design of your helmet before committing to painting.

3. Unscrew the facemask and unclip the visor and neck guard.

4. Spray your neck guard and visor with the desired color of gloss paint.

5. Paper off the interior of the helmet and secure in place with masking tape. Be sure to have tape across the underside of all vents in the helmet.

6. Spray the helmet the base color used in your design and allow to dry.

7. Add accent colors by papering over and taping over any colors you wish to remain the primary color, then spray on the accent color and leave to dry.

8. Continue adding accent colors by papering and taping over more and more of the helmet, until all colors have been applied and dried.

9. Clip the visor and neckguard back on, and screw on the faceguard to complete your new design.
