Long time lurker, first time posting. Finally got my Halloweencostumes [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) and found a Rothco at a local surplus store. I’ve been reading along the different recipes on dying a Rothco’s “■■■■ yellow”, into a “screen accurate gray”. Just wondering if people have updated photos and techniques for Halloween 2025 to share for those of us new to the game. TYIA
