(about the title, one of my friends at Horrorfind Weekend 6 bought a bootleg copy of The Angry Beaver Series)
So I’m back again, if you look on page 2 of the uniforms forum you can see my old Uniform, it was Black, dyed pads, black pistol belt, the lifeguard, an old nametag, and a cheapo gb logo patch.
This time I’m going for an as accurate as possible Ghostbusters Uniform.
Ghostbusters 1 mind you.
In the process of ordering a GB patch logo from J Kerezman.
Also ordering a new patch from the ■■■■■■■ eBay who did my older one.
Ordering a KHAKI Flight Suit from Ted’s Military Supplies.
(I’m just gonna reuse my other elbow pads as they came out great)
I got a question though.
In order to get the most accurate Grey suit, they dyed the Khaki jumpsuit Grey right? If not then what did they do?
This Grey suit is what I’m looking for

Those aren’t grey. They are all the normal tan we all know and love. It is acutally the lighting effects and the rolling fog that makes them look grey. So to get your movie-accurate suit just stick with the tan.
The suits are khaki suits tinted grey.After you get your suit get yourself two packages of rit dye color pearl grey.Dye your suit twice using the derections on the package for washing machine two seprate times.Thats one option, option two do what I did which thinking back on it now was scary.Use one package of black dye in a tub and just dunk the fabrick untill you feel you have the correct color.
This is my suit for ref on color…(Click Me!!)
You Could actualy go a little darker
Yep, the suits in the first movie were defenately dyed grey. In the second movie they used Khaki suits. My suit was originally desert tan in colour. I used pretty much the same technique of dying using a combo of Rit Pearl Grey and Black dye.
the result…
