We put MAC stickers all over them. Makes them easier to spot at an event
(and on television, the time the SCCA borrowed them from us for a celibrity

Right. The reason that was mentioned in the book was that Z90.1 did not
test helmets for the effects of stickers and spray paint. Snell does test
for that. Feel free to paint them.
