Hey everyone! I have this mask (attached image) and I'm trying to customise it into something with a futuristic, monochromatic look and glowing eyes. I'd love some advice on a few things: Finish: What paint or coating should I use to get a smooth, premium-looking monochrome finish? Lighting: How can I install lights around or behind the eye area to achieve a glowing-eye effect? Components: What exactly should I look for when ordering the lights? LED strips, LED panels, EL panels or something else? Visibility: How can I achieve the glowing-eye effect while still being able to see clearly from inside the mask? Colour: What colour would get me closest to the target? Power: What's the best way to power the lights while keeping everything lightweight and comfortable? Durability and comfort: I'll have to wear this mask for several hours continuously, so I need a reliable setup that won't overheat, become uncomfortable, run out of battery quickly or stop working midway. What lighting and battery setup would you recommend? I'm quite new to mask customisation, so I'd appreciate recommendations for specific materials, components, tutorials or examples of similar DIY projects. Thanks!   submitted by   /u/elasticache [link]   [comments]
