Wow. Seemed to work pretty well apart from the mesh and the zipper.

Think it works quite well but i'm going to use a marker or some paint on the zipper, bit too vivid that. Also to note I did 3 ammo pouches at the same time in the same dye mix, 2 took it well but the 3rd not as dark. Not a bad finished result but expect different results from different batches of pouches. All were from the local surplus shop, Premiersurplus in Swindon.

 
If you wanted to go the extra mile you could have a tailor stitch in new zippers. But I would just do what your doing and marker them in.

Thanks for the info. I dyed my DDPM trousers based on your description. Spring is coming, nature is turning green, so are my trousers. :) I'll test it next game day, and if it's not bright green enough, I'll dye it again with yellow.

According to what i've read the Acid dyes only make stuff darker so yellow might not work.

It would make it more green, instead of this greyish one. With dyes you can add color, but you can't remove them, that's why you can't make it lighter.

Thanks for the link, that's what I used too.

But I think I'll stick to this colour, as it looks good.

 
I know this post was a while ago now....but has anyone ever dyed a ubac shirt before?
