I learned that lesson with rubber/plastic flip flops. I sprayed my feet 
thoroughly with OFF and instantly the color was rubbing off and I had BLUE 
FEET for a week! LOL
Now I'm very careful how I put the bug spray on. LOL

Subject: [AERCMembersForum] Aegis Aspen helmet WARNING!

> I still love my new Aegis Aspen because of the way it fits, but if you

>
> At the 3-day ride last weekend I sprayed my whole body with Deep Woods
> Off, just like I always do, and where it touched the helmet it
> completely ruined the finish.  It looks all scarred up, kind of
> scratchy and white.  Wetting it and scrubbing hard with a thumbnail
> does remove most of the residue, but it leaves a shiny finish
> underneath instead of the matte finish the rest of the helmet has.
> Because of this, I didn't bother trying Goo Gone, rubbing alcohol, or
> anything like that... it would still have looked awful afterwards.
>
> The good news is, State Line Tack is sending me a new one, as well as
> a UPS call tag to send the old one back.  I will be contacting Devon
> Aire to let them know about this crucial flaw in their product design.
>
> I still recommend this helmet, but from now on I will bug spray my
> head BEFORE I put my helmet on... it won't be difficult to remember,
> since I already make sure I don't get it on my sunglasses or my
> diamond ring.  I just wish I had known before I ruined a perfectly
> good helmet.
