thanks as usual for your help!
about the blue, I occasionally go to my local moscot shop and they put what they call "celebrity blue" lenses also on frames that I didn't buy from them, becasue I'm a longtime customer. but since I have a lot of dark blue or light blue glasses, this time I was also thinking about something completely different, a solid pink maybe?
I'll think about it for a while
A website with all the frames, sorted by date would be awesome. Sounds like a lot of work thoughHow would you guys feel about creating a group Pinterest account for documenting RDJ's eyewear?
A website or something like that?
Would anyone know how to set that up?

I dig those. I bought the black ones and got custom blue lenses in mine.Hi guys, sorry to bother you but I need an opinion about these: I'm looking for a while for PS Cortland and only found those online, they're not the oak and aqua, but would you say the frame looks the same or close enough ? Always difficult to compare with different lightings.
I think I'll take them anyway, kind of a good deal
Well I would have bought them in black (with the lighting in Civil War, they look more black than tortoise at first sight), but these are the only one I've seen in over a year online but they sort of look different than the Oak and Aqua to me, but nobody really shared a close picture of them here...I dig those.

For the Gunnar Vaypers, does anyone have a PMS number, paint code, or anything similar for a close 'Neptune' color match ??
Frame looks close enough to me mate...here's my oak/aqua....Hi guys, sorry to bother you but I need an opinion about these: I've been looking for a while for PS Cortland and only found those online, they're not the oak and aqua, but would you say the frame looks the same or close enough ?

Painting them is a bit difficult. I prepped and painted mine properly and initially got a perfect finish, but the lenses are such a tight fit in re-assembly, it's almost impossible not to lose some paint putting them in.For the Gunnar Vaypers, does anyone have a PMS number, paint code, or anything similar for a close 'Neptune' color match ??

I'm going to re-do mine again, as they were a bit too light blue anyway. I did use auto paint, but I think it definitely needs hardener or something in there too, Lol.

Is it just me, but are the Vayper's and PPK's lenses almost impossible to keep clean?
They get caked in smudges just by looking at them!!
Yeah, I stripped back the black finish, primered and sanded with super fine wet and dry inbetween coats. Can't remember the exact color, I did them ages ago.Out of curiosity, did you strip off the Black finish first or just paint over it? Do you remember what color you used?
I think I'm going with Model Master 28149 'Bright Calypso Blue Metallic'...
