What do y'all think?  Might paint the vents black, but other than that I personally like 'em.

Black vents will look awesome on it. Nice work.

I like it a lot, but it makes you look like a stormtrooper.

My local shop had a pair in.  Action Village has them, but they aren't in stock.

Well, I thought about it and I personally don't think it would look good with white vents.  I'd only do the front 3 and in my opinion it just wouldn't look as good.  I am however going to make the Proto symbol on the forehead black so it stands out.  Thanks for the comments guys.

I used Plasti Dip.  It bends with the mask, and doesn't chip.  I have 5 coats on it, and so far it seems to hold up great.  The lense frame I used Krylon Fusion, the lense frame doesn't flex so I'm not worried about it chipping or cracking off.  It's taken a few hits on the lense frame and there is no sign of it coming off.
