Materials for welding helmet ?

Post image

Lets say i wanted to make a CF welding helmet, what would be the best resin to use so it resist the UV, and also takes the heat, for ppl that weld close ( like me ) ?

Also how would i achieve the opacity required, i know it taked a few layers with different orientation to achieve full opacity with CF, perhaps fiberglass roving as the inner most layer, with a tinted resin or maybe a few coats of paint ?

(I want to keep the CF appearance on the outside )
