So, I need to weather my boba suit a bit today. Id like any surggestions anyone wants to offer up.

I made the vest and suit out of same color, im going to dirty up the suit and leave the vest, to add some contrast.

Just lightly mist the suit with blacks, browns and grays?

Thanks.
Mason

I haven't weathered my flightsuit or vest yet either. It's the scariest part for me because there's no going back once you do it!

I used a misting of paints myself.
Mune were the same paints we use for "woodgraining" the buttstocks.
Mohawk rattle-cans
they are more like spray-on stains than paint
They do wash out a little each time you was the jumpsuit.
so "there's no going back once you do it!" isn't neccessarily true

Likewise, i went with misting. I used flat black, red-brown and some grays. All rattle cans. And yes, they do wash out alittle...I had to redo mine twice so far...just to keep it 'dirty' enough.

I started mine by rubbing on my furnace room floor to give it a worn/grimy look and then misted it with some flat black and khaki/browns in specific areas.

Hehehehehe I weathered mine the easy (or hard way however you want to look at it). Since I am a Mounted Infantryman/M2 Bradley crewmember I was issued a CVC kit (Combat Vehicle Crewmember) which has 2 pairs of Nomex coveralls, a flack vest, a nomex balaclava, nomex gloves,and a nomex cold weather jacket. Now normally you of course have to turn in everything you were issued when you PCS (Permenant Change of Station)...but some time back I ended up with an extra pair, so I'm keeping the pair I wore the most and returning the two [cleaner] pairs when I PCS in Feb. XD

But yeah, personally I prefer wearing something to weather it, or throwing it around, and just generally abusing it.
