I actually bought them for my AT AT helmet but the gray paint just would not stick so had them in storage. Thought they might work, and they fit perfectly !

Quick question on the visor !

This from the CRL :

The visor is fitted with a red or smoke tinted visor that allows for maximum visibility while obscuring the wearers features.
The visor has a red tinted visor that allows for maximum visibility while obscuring the wearers features.

Now, does this mean it can be a smoke visor ? Or it has to have a red tint ?

While not strictly canon, a smoke tint visor is acceptable for membership

Here's my plan ... looking at buying from Amazon the Self Adhesive Light Tint Film


and adding it to Hobart 770580 Shaded Face Shield Replacement Lens

Here are three versions I have tinkered with ...

Top: is Red Window Tint with a Smoke Tint

Middle is Red Window Tint only

Bottom is Red Window Tint with a Mirrored Window Tint

Indoor


Outdoor


I am partial to the lower version with the red window tint / mirrored window tint behind it.

Does it look too mirrored ? I will add pics with it on the helmet this afternoon also !

Outer robes purchased !

Opted for Old Glory Red velvet from Hobby Lobby. 40% off online coupon is a lifesaver !
Seems to match the red on the bucket pretty well also !

The third option is what I use for my helmets.

Awesome, that was my choice also !

Red Window Tint with a Smoke Tint




Red Window Tint with a Mirrored Window Tint





I am partial to the first pics as it matches the production stills. Am I wrong ?

I would go with the first option.
Its more like the stills and you are not seen behind it.
