It depends on what the helmet is made of, and the use for the helmet. Acrylic paint will stick to most non-oily surfaces, but will easily scrape off of slick and non-porous things. If the helmet is a football or motorcycle helmet, I would think that the paint would scrape off if it gets banged around. Also, acrylic paint softens when it gets wet, which makes it even more susceptible to being scraped off, so if the helmet is to be used in the rain, it would probably get wrecked. You can sand a slick surface to create a tooth on which the paint can stick but again, if it gets wet and softens, the paint will get damaged with only moderate banging around. Acrylic paint sticks quite well to rough, toothy or porous surfaces, but is best used for art objects that will be kept indoors.
You could find solvent-based paints (like model-paints) at a craft store like Michael's that may be more suitable for your helmet.

∙ 11y agoYou should use a self-priming spray paint to paint a tech deck. The acrylic paint would work, but it would need a primer first to ensure that it adheres to the surface.
Unless you're asking about a type of decorative concrete flooring, in which case, yes, you can use acrylic paint or stain as long as it hasn't been previously coated with a solvent based coating. If so, you'll need to either use the same base coating, or use a primer to bridge between the two different materials.
