Nice! I took a few photos of the real helmet at Comic Con. I'd be glad to share those with you!

For a chrome visor, you could get some chrome window tint, 1-way mirror tint, or a chromed motorcycle visor (I know Icon has some, but maybe not the right shape) and heat/bend it to fit...
 
thank for all the good coments and sugestion, i did some adujstmet to the visor and more sanding tomorrow ready to paint.
 
Is already paint, but visor need more works more wider on top to the middle, but like i said before this not the final visor.

Yes but i'm doing some test using vacum form method. Once i got that ready i let you know hopefully 2 or 3 more weeks
 
When you get the mirrored visor figured out, please let us know. I made Cobra Vipers last summer, and just used the face shield from Harbor Freight with mirrored privacy tint from Home Depot. Not a dome, just a smooth curve and the helmet is almost like a Fett with bigger T-shape, so it held it curved like that. A friend wants to replace his hooded Cobra Commander with a helmet, and I said I'd build it, but that one (the cartoon version) definitely needs to be domed. I'm wondering if a little heat and vacuum could stretch the mirror tint over a vac-formed clear visor.
