I need some advice on this DP97 Helmet. PICTURES

Ok, so I've had this old Don Post 1997 helmet laying around somewhere in my closet. I pulled it out and i wanted to modify it to look some what "Screen Accurate". I know that the MS and Mystery Helmets are the best but, this is what i have.

I've tried to take some of the old paint off.(As you can see) But nothing really seems to work! GOT ANY IDEAS????
Also, I cut out the old visor to put a new one in...which i still need!
The origional Range Finder and stem broke after being in my closet..so i contacted Richie at http://www.richiesarmor.com and got a resin one for FREE! Its kind of bent but it'll work out!

If you have any ideas that you think would help me out, Please tell me!

Thanks A LOT!

for the paint you can either sand it down a little and paint over it or primer it. but you dont have to sand it all off. as for the visor use a dark green weldig visor from here rjsafety.com i found the link at tk4409s web site. if you havent found his web site yet its here: www.tk409.com he has tons of use full information on boba and other star wars caracter costumes. hope that helps!! and welcome to tdh

The green visor is accurate to the esb helmet but smoked is accurate to the rotj helmet. I prefer the smoked one in either case, is doesn't mess with my eyesight as much. You're going to need to flare it and make the dome a bit more rounded. For rounding the dome the easiest fix would be to drill some holes in the top of it and use fine strand fiberglass re-enforced bondo to the top of it and sand it to shape. I tried heating it and rounding it more but it's more work than it's worth.
