    Quality Matte/Flat Red Helmet?

    I want to get a matte red helmet to replace my matte gray one. I've been digging around and I can't find a high quality brand that sells one (Must be DOT and Snell approved).

    I would love it if it looked like:
    ZAMP FS-2 Solid Red

    Or even like this:
    New Icon Red Flat Finish Full Face Motorcycle Helmet-Size Large

    Any ideas? Thanks all!

    Normally I have no problem saying things via Krylon, but on a helmet I'd like it to be unmolested

    The Scorpion EXO-700 comes in a darker red. It's not a matte, but a nice color:



    I found that one here:

    BigRed and his wife both have one and they like them a lot.

    My next helmet is most likely going to be an EXO-1000.

    Yeah, I just did a search. It seems the main complaint is the noise. I never ride w/out ear plugs though, so that's a moot point.

    The 1000 sounds awesome, but I like plain color schemes.

    I'd be looking at the matte black 1000, unless they decide to make one with a red scheme.
