What is this? The geek board? (I'm also an engineer, and know a more than a little about chemical engineering and materials science, but I rarely bring that to this board.)
Talk about mellowing out - DTTB, take a pill!
Without going back and re-reading this entire thread, if memory servers, the predominate view is... (exception to all of this - LL)
1. There's no rule regarding paint in ASA, or most other organizations.
2. While it is possible improper painting can damage a helmet, this is mostly a warranty issue between the manufacturer and the owner, and does not involve the rules of the game.
3. Officials who take it upon themselves to not allow painted helmets in the game are not backed up by the rules.
4. If the NOCSAE stamp and warning label is visible, that is all that is required. Paint is not an issue.
Chill, will ya?
