helmets

It has surprised me how shiny the football helmets have become. In a sport that the football helmet gets hit a lot. The helmets never have any chips in them. Its like they paint them every week? But how is that possible. You have to measure to make sure you get the stickers on right. It seems like it is a full time job. For somebody keeping the helmets looking nice. Some of the helmets look like they were painted using hot rod type paint. You know hot rod paint. Its the paint used to paint hot rod cars. Just a tad bit too shiny. You never see new cars looking that shiny. Its like they use special paint that does not chip. Maybe its not even paint. Maybe its a sticker type substance. In Notre Dame they paint the helmets with real gold dust. But their helmets are easy to take care of. Because they have no stickers. So its easy just to paint them every week.
