I just get old plastic make a visor and then buy spray on window tint.

i have taken a mold of the visor part of the helmet and then made a plaster casting of the visor and used vacum form plastic to make a visor and then covered it with window tint and spray on tint. works really well and matches the helmet perfectly. regular window tint has more color options but have to heat shrink it with a heat gun and if not carefull can melt the tint. spray on works really well with little problems. only thing is this is time consuming. and a vacume forming machine helps. you can make one really cheep and the plastic doesn't cost much.

I'm using my old paintball goggle lens for my new recon build. The paintball lenses come in tons of colors including multiple types of mirrors and are somewhat anti-fog. The best part is they are around $20 or cheaper if you hit a summer sale.

thats a good idea didn't think about that one

i thought about the paintball mask, but all the ones i looked at had notches for your nose, therefore ruining them...

 

[wolfeborne]

yah did not think of the nose thing. I'm doing recon so it kind of just a lens slit. One of my friends is doing a security helmet using a face shield from a gas mask. Apparently the type the airforce uses is remarkably similar.
