No such rule in ASA, NFHS (high school), or NCAA. Granted, the typical umpire does not (and cannot) know what paints may have altered the structural integrity of a helmet; and I accept that there may be such a paint that conceivably could.
However, I have seen thousands and thousands that were painted, and the material sure seemed the same to me, with just a new color (colors, or design) on top. Seems like overkill legislation to me by whomever may actually have such a rule.
