life size 1978 Michael Myers (finished)

this is what it looks like at the moment, I still need to weather the coveralls, I have also ordered Handiboystudios knife wielder hands and I’m waiting for the tots 78 knife.
I finally found red kaps in the right size, unfortunately they are charcoal and not spruce green, I might dye them when I find the right dye, has anyone here dyed them from charcoal to green?

no, here is the mannequin I used, it was a second hand item off ebay, but they are available to buy new

What are the coveralls size?

40 long, the mannequin is 6 foot with 38 chest.

It looks really great so far even without the new hands. The coveralls look good in the 2nd pic they dont look too dark.

It helps if you lighten them in the wash with bleach alittle before you dye, because the grey is darker than the green.
You want a lighter shade of green fabric dye, if you use dark green it will darken the grey making them closer to black.

You would need a synthetic aka polyester fabric dye there is I-DYE POLY by Jaquard on AmazonUK,
They make standard a green and another shade Kelly green.

I recommend RIT DYEMORE they have one called Peacock green I think is your best bet. Its a lighter shade of green
so it will be a perfect blend of green/grey. The grey for the dark tones , green for the undertones.
They will come out a darker shade of green because your starting fabric is dark already.
