Step 4Prepare goggles
The goggles that I purchased were a very un-batlike shiny aqua color. To make the goggles more batty, take the lenses out (remove the nose piece first), sand them, and spray with Plasti Dip spray to give them a nice leathery rubber texture. Before spraying, I masked the interior of the goggles and the parts that touch the skin with masking tape. I also did not apply any paint to the nose piece because the paint reduces the flexibility of the goggle material a little bit and the nose piece is necessary to hold the goggles together.
You will also want to sand and spray the ears as well. Sanded plastic dust is nasty for your lungs and eyes so please wear a mask and safety glasses for these steps.
I sprayed about 3 coats with about 10-15 minutes between coats to get an even texture. When wet, the paint appears glossy, but it dries to a matte texture.
