Protoman helmet cosplay question

I’m starting to look up gear to get for my Protomen style Protoman cosplay at AWA. I’ll probably go with a double-breasted black shirt or vest with black pants and a tattered poncho. If I have the time, I’d like to make some armor pieces that I can velcro to various areas. I’m still deciding on the design of the arm cannon and if I’ll have a shield or not.

I’m finding some cheap helmets that look nice, but they’re matte. Have any of you had experience painting over matte finishes? Any suggestions on other cheap helmets?
