[QUOTE="RandomRanger, post: 790080, member: 35895"] The way a lot of visors are done is they're plastic stained yellow (iDye Poly) and then the inside is coated in a light layer of chrome (Alclad II is best). Good visors are vacuum formed over a mold of the shape of the visor, though I imagine you could achieve decent result w/ a yellow soda bottle plastic as you mentioned if budget is a priority. I can't provide specific details because I haven't done it myself, but I know that's how it's done a lot of the time. The plastic part of my visor was made by Iconoprops on Etsy and then tinted by Wardrobe Armory using a form of the process I listed above [ATTACH type="full" width="159px" alt="1589334791684.png"]290411[/ATTACH] My apologies if this was said above... I didn't really read the above text walls lol. [/QUOTE]
