you can paint it your self with some practice..
just buy a spray paint and paint it black..

cost 250/- for the spray paint...go for matte black it looks awesome..i have painted my white helmet to black.. it had some graphics which i dint like..hehe

Sounds untrue! Do you know the logic behind this?
Any links we could refer to?

I think that would depend on the shell composition , i have read somewhere that the regular spray paint we use could react with the resin in the helmet shell and probably de-grade it ... if the helmet shell has plastic (highly unlikely , except for the cheap quality ones ) then aerosol on that is a definite NO ... aerosol has certain chemicals that can react ... try aerosol on thermocol for example ...

Thats for the inside right? The paint-job is to be done on the outer shell na!
