First of all, I don't care what little league, dixie, afa, or any other minor sanctioning body has to say about painted helmets other than if you are playing under their rules - follow their rules.
ASA, Fed, and NCAA do not care about painted helmets - those are the sanctioning bodies that I work under, those are the sanctioning bodies that I care about. I guess I'll be adding PONY to the list of organizations that I care abou, but that's another story.
Now, if a helmet is painted thickly enough that I cannot fully see either the stamp of the warning label, I will ask te coach if the coach wants to scrape the paint off. If yes, I'll look at the helment then. If the coach's answer is "no, I won't scrape the paint off that spot on that helmet", the helmet is not acceptable.
