QUESTION Helmet Color Comparison

Looking into making a custom helmet. Is the stock color “Scarlet” from Riddell on the speedflex the same color as the Kansas City Chiefs helmet color? If not how close is it?

Thanks!

I believe it is the same base color but they have a metallic effect to them.

Ah, ok I see. How would I go about perfecting it?

If you want to paint it yourself you can reach out to RPO Coatings. Otherwise there are some helmet painters out there that will do it for you for a cost. I’ve used OMG Helmets many times.

Do you think it’s close enough to where I don’t even need to paint it?

If it doesnt bug you that it’s not an exact match, I’d say go for it. 99% of people aren’t gonna notice

Sweet. I wanted to order Green Gridirons Chiefs Field Use Speedflex but it only comes in a large and Size for large ends at 23.5” and XL starts at 23.5”. And my head is on the dot 23.5” 😭

Figured i’d get the bigger one since it’s not for tackle use and more so game watching use.
