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.
