Edit:
I found one forum that said you shouldn't paint them because some aerosols break down polystyrene and/or the shell that is structurally integral to the helmet.. a bit.
But Its only certain types of aerosols, so I reckon it's just one of those brave pedantic online geniuses spreading rumours..
I wouldn't say it's a rumour!!
When I got my shoei bike helmet part of the instructions said not to apply any stickers or paint to the shell as it could effect the integrity of the shell!!
Personally I'd take the advice you have being given and look for a new helmet!!
