That paint is perfect Scott! Is it a spray or brush application?

Thanks guys! Cory, it was a small bottle of model car paint. Here\'s the exact same type I used:

Amazing!!! Dude I\'ve had a tough time finding model paints locally. I don\'t even think Wal-Mart sells them at all anymore.

I had to go to Hobby Lobby man. They jack their prices up, but it was well worth it. I can\'t stress how exact it was to the color I was imagining in my head.

I so need to get me a pair of these once you finish this one for yourself lol . Oddly enough , when you did the mirror pic above , I thought you look kinda like Bryce Harper a bit . Just make sure to not blow any kisses at pitchers lol . But yeah man , if you could PM me some details about these shades , I\'d really be interested .

VERY cool build man, that\'s looking fantastic, can\'t wait to see it finished, BIG X-Men fan!

Those visors turned out fantastic. :thumbsup:
It just goes to prove that with a little creatively & effort you can make a cool prop without busting your wallet. :yes:

thanks a lot, guys! you rock!!! I actually think I finished it up last night. Still having a bit of a problem with the red tint for the visor, but other than that, it\'s pretty much done. I added silver paint throughout the details that made it pop really well. I also decided to skip out on the LED function, as I\'ve found that it would pretty much block all vision and I\'d rather this be a proper visor for costume use.

I\'ll try to snap some pics tomorrow for you guys! Thanks again!!!

Really cool work! The details are quite something. Are you trying to go for an iridium look with the lens?
