Looks great! You did an excellent job with the vents!
I haven't finished mine yet, but I found that one of the acrylic craft paints I had lying around seemed to adhere itself very well to the goggles. So I put a base coat of beige paint, then layered over it with a silver metallic paint pen, and I'm sealing the whole thing with a matte clear coat. Seems to be working well, and the paint's not coming off and isn't sticky to the touch. I also found some white elastic and colored it with red and black Sharpies - it turned out much better than I had hoped.
I hope I don't mess it all up when I try to add the extra vents...
Flawless job on adding the vents... though it's a shame you had to kill an extra pair of goggles to do it. Then again, I probably paid twice for one set vs what you paid for two sets.
Goggles need to be MUCH more silver... I'd say maybe three parts silver to one part gold paint. I don't think the ones in the show are greenish at all.
