On my Sparco lid the red label is in the gelcoat.


The painter should have masked it off...

This happened to me a good few years ago now and to be honest it took a bit of effort to sort it. Firstly a scrute put a new msa approval sticker on it, then another one took it off and said I couldn't use it because there was no BSI sticker on it therefore they had no way of knowing what standard it was. Anyway I then phoned the MSA, they told me to contact the BSI and get a letter to verify that my particular helmet was approved. There was a sticker inside, under the lining with a batch number on it which the BSI cross referenced and confirmed it was approved. They sent me the letter, I re-presented the helmet to a scrute and got my MSA sticker..
Moral of story? Don't lose the original sticker!!

I have a feeling the inside sticker/label is also gone, but thanks for the response.

He did mask it off, but it came off anyway.

Damn, even that has gone.

This is a very expensive paint job, new helmet I fear.

Confirmed by the MSA, the helmet is now useless.

There are no stickers, no labels, nothing.
