I need to spray paint the Polish eagle on my helmet. Has anyone here painted their helmet with any sort of emblem or marking? If so - which paint did you use?

For the Independent Parachute Brigade I used a standard yellow acrylic paint I had kicking around from painting miniatures - used the same type of white to do markings on the US helmet.
These were with a brush though, not sprayed.
Did you do freehand, or used a stencil?

I used a stencil that I got from these chaps: http://www.pathfindergroupuk.com/WW2%20Uniforms.htm
Thanks I just found an entire thread about those eagles, will probably be able to photoshop a stencil out of the pics posted there:

Wladek, could you measure that eagle you have? Having the maximum x and y span would help me a lot with printing the template.

Sure, if I get time when I get home - packing for flying lead this weekend so it might me a bit hectic. It's not that big.
There is a pic here.

Thanks, I've already made a stencil and I have the eagle on my para helmet
