Paint. You could work out a nice scheme with the CF background.

I'd go with 80%+ paint and have the CF bleed through in only a few places. Trying to remember what your current lid looks like...is there any black in your current scheme?

How about skin tone, except for a hair-shaped exposed CF area?

Paint: the CF is cool to look at but I think graphics would be superior in promoting your "brand" and make you more recognizable at a distance. Just my $0.00001

Some paint.

Keep some of the CF exposed but build up something to give the helmet some interest for all those incar shots we better see when the races are aired. The CF will look grey/black from anything over a couple of feet away.

No paint. Why change for just the sake of change?
