I like it, looks great. There is maybe a little too much white, but it works. You could possibly ever-so-lightly light-grey shadow around the edges of the vents or goggle surround just to highlight them a little. Good job.

People who are organised are just to lazy to look for things.

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.

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.

iv seen alot of people cut those side vents off them. a techno or whipper snapper strap would be sweet on them.

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