Q. I want to write my name on my helmet so I know it’s mine. Is that ok?

A. The solvents contained within the permanent marker are mostly alcohol based, and flash off immediately.  Writing a person's name with a "Sharpie" brand permanent marker will not void the warranty on our batter's shells.

Q. I want to paint my softball helmet myself is that ok?

A.  We strongly recommend that Schutt® Sports Mfg. Co. or one of it’s approved NAERA member reconditioners apply the new paint, because of the very specific procedures that are required. Please contact Schutt® Sports Customer Service Department for information on approved reconditioner: 1-800-426-9784. If your Schutt Softball Helmet has labeling that says ”DO NOT PAINT” please do not attempt to paint it.  If your Batting Helmet does not say this the approve paints are as follows: Color-Set INC, WURDACK, INC, Sherwin Williams Corp, AKZO/Sikkens, DuPont Corp, & Createx Brand.
