OK so people keep saying to not start a new topic. Frankly i Don't really care. I've been searching for hours, trying to find something that explains how to make a visor for my Mark VI helmet so i wouldn't have to start a new topic. So I've said screw it. I want to have a red mirrored tint on the visor to go with the black paint. Any help? Please?

I don't think there's an actual way to make a MIRRORED surface visor right now, that's commercially available and still comparatively cheap. However, there was a tutorial by a guy named "redshirt", basically goes through how to make a visor you can KIND of see out from, but definitely not into.
Also keep in mind that this tutorial is for a gold-coloured visor, if you want a red tint you're going to have to figure out your own paint mixes, add on top of that getting access to an airbrush if you don't have one already as well as an air compressor.
If you wanna give it a shot though, here's the link to the tutorial:

Good luck!

Fair enough how to make a visor... But how to you fit them to the helmets? Has anyone got any information or links on how to fit a visor?
Your help would be much appreciated!!

as for attatching, most people just get a nice fit and velcro it in. I have seen at least one or two people attach bolt hardware to the inside of their helmet and mount it that way. There are plenty of ways to make a helmet suitable for paintball. But after looking around, you'll find every project is different, and its best to just try it out and go with your own design.

Do not make a helmet for paintball. That being said some resin/JB wield/epoxy and a small nut and bolt will do the trick nicely. Heck for the ultra low rent method use hot glue, I can't verify if it would work on our large visors but it works well for Stormtroopers.
