The overlays that I have used in the past are printed on clear film & then cold laminated for wear protection (my printer). A lot of work also involved applying masking to spray white gloss base. Overlays applied wet for best fit. I believe some overlays in the past from others had the lenses printed white or color. The light would still go through a little reduced.

Spray bottle of water & drop of liquid soap. I always try to adjust to bottom & middle lenses. I use a tiny exacto to cut lanes, GI holes, wood cut outs, etc.
