Spray painting uniforms?

Postby Shadowsta13 » Fri Oct 07, 2011 7:50 pm

Is there any spray paint type that works well on fabric? If so what would be the best choice?
I have been planning on replicating the ever so rare PSG "Urban bricks" pattern as the pattern is almost the hardest camo to find.

And I've heard of this great site called Google you should try it
That would help though most of the info that I found was for soccer moms who want to tie dye stuff. Though I phrased my origonal question wrong, I mainly want to see if anyone has tried something similar on fabric as I don't want to buy a new set, paint it, and end up with an abomination

mostly people put clothing dye when washing camo to give it a different tone of color, i don't know about spray paint....you might want to try fabric paint for your project

@ Shadowsta13: Find yourself a length of plain poly/cotton ripstop fabric, you could either use an old set of ratty BDUs and cut them up, or look for it in sheets at a fabric store (I think Joann Fabric sells ripstop Marpat by the yard, I think, don't quote me on it). Use that to test it out first before going to town on a nicer pair.

I have a set of the Urban Bricks camo if you'd like to look at it to see how it's sewn together.

Already have one in mind... It's scene better days but it will become useful once more.

Thanks that would be very helpful.
