Hey Brothers !
Finally started weathering my flight suit. Have poked around here looking at popular methods. I came up with something I haven't seen here yet. Not really sure if this is actually a new process, but here it goes.
Finishing up the last belt on my Ammo Belt run (see: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showthread.php?t=35094), I had some unused dye. A light come on in my head. I poured the dye into a clean spray bottle, added some hot water and mixed it up. Then I started spraying. I did a light coat on strategic areas and threw it in the dryer. I repeated the process several times, resulting in what you see in the photos below.
I also took a used coffee filter (with grounds) out of the maker, balled it up and rubbed along seam lines and edges. Again, tossing the suit in the dyer between applications.
Will do a bit more later. Meanwhile what do you think? I am also attaching the photo I am using for reference.
By the way, the suit's not really blue. Bad lighting
Cheers everybody !!!
