Recommendations on darkening Anovos helmet visors

[atmicwedgy]

Hello,

So I have noticed that some prop helmets arrive with visors that show the wearer's eyes, which is a bit of a bummer.

This was true with the eFx PCR stormie helmets, but those were relatively easy to remedy with various lenses available from sellers, and given their price I wasn't too nervous modifying it.

I am having trouble deciding how to fix this for some of the higher-end premium Anovos helmets though, specifically helmets with one piece visor/lens (e.g. the DeathTrooper, TFA FO Tie Pilot, etc.). Their contours make simply applying a darker film a bit difficult.

So I was wondering if there were any recommendations for making them darker, preferably with minimal risk to the helmet.

Thanks,
Nicko

I actually tried that! Helmets don't allow enough room for sunglasses AND my head.:cry

I've never seen an Anovos helmet up close, are you able to remove the lenses or are they fixed in there?

Get some cat tint or tinted acetate sheet cut to fit tape or glue in place.

Fixed in.

Guess I was just used to the Clone Trooper helmets that had dark enough tinting to not require any modifications.

Figured as much, wasn't sure if there was something else that would better handle the contoured shape of these visors. Guess some folds in the tint would be ok.
