Long time no post but, here goes nothing. Picked up a navy tru-spec suit and debated on dying it for a bit. I scoured the threads for any info on the GB2 suits just to find the old “he said, she said” debate on the color : [Charcoal grey flightsuits just for the sake of editing? - General Ghostbusters Discussion - GBFans.com](http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=38104) Looking at the comparison shots I eventually decided to go ahead and dye my suit. This lead me to this thread: [Navy Tru-Spec to GB2 Charcoal - Uniforms - GBFans.com](http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16153) Now the pictures… Pre dye bath: -no flash- ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/4/a/4afafa558537306c7a101eb9c0f9c4899e8db4ab.jpeg) -flash- ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/a/ca8d4adae97d83476d3e6e30189f68779d0d8985.jpeg) Post dye bath: -no flash- ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/8/58c56f27fd8208c570d1a67073a5537cb84d145b.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/7/97ccf81e91243ee5d3f7ae1f3b9af836b32b873d.jpeg) -flash- ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/c/6cba2bdb418853e6994578b86e4244ef1d39f31b.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/1/c13eadf54997f3a32d0397e3d642e45b93b5803a.jpeg) …The last pic is a little washed out by the flash but I was trying to capture the fact that in the certain light it still has that navy hue. I skipped a couple steps in mburkit’s method because I didn’t understand why I should completely strip it of color and then add the navy back. Here’s how I went about achieving this color: -Four packs of color striper for 30 minutes -Wash -Half a bottle of Rit liquid black for 30 minutes -Rinse under cold for 10 minutes -Wash -Wash again & Dry I’m really happy with how it turned out. -Kenny ---
