What are you trying to do, make a Trooper uni?

i'm not trying anything myself yet. just wondering if the sniper ever got really really cheap if the black suit would ever be useful or changable.

I know Buttmunch made a Bludd outfit but that was more of a dark brown, it's possible that the Rit remover can lighten it up a bit but I would think that it works more towards darker colors even if redyed after being stripped. That's usually the way it goes whenever I dye dark items.

Think of most Asians when they dye their hair. That's about the orangy color you'll get. BUT remember, threads won't dye so if you're doing a black suit and dying it red, you'll still have black threads.

Doesn't seem worth the effort to me...

too bad it couldn't be bleached, then dyed to a Stinger driver grey, for example. There are some fabric paints, but they always leave the fabric pretty stiff.

I don't see why you couldn't dye it gray. If you don't mind the black stitching you'd be fine.

think the grey dye would cover the yellowish orange? hmm. well if the sniper price goes down it'll be worth the shot.

Awesome avatar. Bissette and Totleben Swamp Thing rules. Soooo much detail.

Or if you find a reg Trooper suit which I'm thinking about doing, that will have a better chance of making it the grey you need.

Or just wait till Sideshow makes the Stinger Driver . . .

U could wait for everything...

Nope.... not gonna happen.

I don't think you'll have any issues. There's a certain someone who's able to change the coat on a certain something to make it turquoise instead of brown for screen accuracy. *thumb to nose*

They turned out fine. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do the same.

Depends on how long you leave it in for and how strong the bath is.

Still waiting on my GoHastings trooper. Ugh. Living in Hawaii does have its draw backs...

Thanks, E..... Moore's Swamp Thing run is some of my all time favorite stuff.

I lived in Hawaii for 4 and a half years. The benefits beat these drawbacks big time.
