I wouldn't attempt to wrap a helmet. This stuff will shrink with heat and conform, but you will still get wrinkles. The curves of a helmet are just too much. Even apply small decals to a helmet is tough....

Wanting to make my motorcycle helmet a little more visible at night, I picked up a roll of the 3M Solas reflective tape (like the kind they make the letters out of on STOP signs) and did a flame motif. You're right in that the curves of the helmet making things difficult, but there was a little bit of stretch to the 3M tape that helped. I kept it to a thin line of flames around the base of the helmet, so there wasn't much wrinkling. But yeah, a full helmet wrap would be very tedious. Plus a little obnoxious to have the whole freakin' head reflective at night.
