   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. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

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

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

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.

What kind of paint did you use? I have tried painting plastic but it always seems to chip ofter playing. -------------

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. ------------- |

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.
