Did you apply to a wet or dry suit ?

We apply dry and rub to give that smeared effect. The flight suit will soon moisten with the spray so no real need to wet the suit first.

Awesome man let me know how the boots go . I have some aqua blue acrylic, so I’m gonna paint the blue, before I weather them with dirty down. Here’s what I mean, with the slight blue, on the original shoes.

that blue is actually the base color of the boot. It's just an unweathered spot. Make sure your boots are blue/gray before you weather, and intentionally leave that spot unweathered.

Ok mannequin dressed paints arrived ready to start weathering over the weekend

Just a tip.. I started my weathering while on the mannequin, but eventually took it off for the remaining coats because it was kind of difficult spraying evenly in places like between the legs, under the arms, etc.

Needing to weather a new ESB flight suit myself, so this has been super helpful. Just wish we could get that Dirty Down spray here in the US. Anybody know of anything comparable that is Stateside?

I think you’ll get a similar result using acrylic paint in the airbrush, at least that’s what I’m planning on doing.
