Get one of These
If you can get your hands on one of these they are easiest to custom paint.

From the 2007-09 Casebook:This should clear things up.
Situation 6
If a player completely paints a HECC approved helmet to
change the color of the helmet, is the helmet considered to be
an altered piece of protective equipment?
Yes. Rule Reference 304(b).
A helmet that is completely painted voids the manufacturer’s
warranty and may weaken the plastic components of the
helmet. Thus, such a helmet does not meet the HECC
standards for helmets. Helmets that have small painted logos
or small stickers attached to them shall be deemed to be legal
under this rule, provided that such paint or sticker does not
cover the entire surface of the helmet.
Situation 7
A goalkeeper is wearing a custom painted HECC approved
helmet/facemask combination. Should the Referee allow this
mask to be worn?
Yes. Rule Reference 304(b).
A painted goalkeeper’s helmet/facemask, such as many of the
currently marketed models, should not be considered to be an
altered piece of equipment, as a player’s painted helmet
normally would. These particular masks are made of materials
that are not affected by the painting, thus they may be painted
as desired by the goalkeeper. It is recommended, however, that
such equipment be painted according to the manufacturer’s
specifications.

Actually saw this rule enforced a couple years ago at a tourney in Brainerd. A father from an opposing team alerted a coach who relayed it to the ref and sure enough the kid was done until he could find a different helmet. Questionable move by the parent, considering it was peewee hockey, but a lesson learned none the less.
