I'm just starting to paint helemts for motocross and auto racing. I'm doing a lot of my old personal helmets first to figure it all out. I'm curious to know if I can go to my local oreilly auto parts store and by the paint they mix and use it. Also cab I use that paint in my airbrush gun. Also what is the best clearcoast to use. Also what will I need to mix into the paint? Thanks in advance for any help

Not for sure on the O'reilly paint. I would think it would work, but of course you'll need to reduce it.
Any good urethane 2-part clear will work.
Personally, we use HOK for both airbrush, basecoats, and clear. You can pick this up at a local auto body jobber or even order it online.
