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

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
Image

Outdoor
Image

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.

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.
