The newbie to the fourm gots a question

A few years back before TDH existed I got a DP Fett bucket and tried to fix it up. I failed horribly.

I tried a few times to paint it and never looked right to me and the visor never came out good.

Its sat on one of my shelfs for about 6 months now and I feel motivated to try to fix it and try to get a good one. Now heres the problem. The thing is so warped I tried to just force it back and the paint cracked opps. Getting a ne helmets not really an option at this point either.

So heres the problems it has any ideas on how to fix them are appreciated.
1-major warpage in the visor area it kinda looks like a wince at this point.
2- ear pieces need redone I used Testors aluminum and copper and they got a weird speckled look to them
3-visor no source of the popular welding masks around last time i tried testors spray on tint and liked it but the visor crakced in 2 (Not the tints fault)
4- IF it can get unwarp how to keep it that way.

Thanks in advance

Tom
