So I have this pair of Dickie Coveralls in the Dark Navy color http://www.amazon.com/Dickies-Sleeve-Blended-Coverall-Regular/dp/B005HJ8P4C/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422455075&sr=8-1-fkmr2&keywords=dickies+one+piece+suit

Anyway, I am not happy with the Dark Navy color and want to dye it black or dark gray. I've tried to search for a tutorial but they are for different model flight suits and coveralls and I was wondering if anyone had experience with dying this specific model, and if not, would other tutorials work? Here is the best one that I have found http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=33831 

Also, if someone could give me advice on how to dye, I would greatly appreciate it as I've never done it before, lol

Thanks!!

With it being 65% polyester,  I doubt it can be dyed at all.   Polyester doesn't take dye.  If someone knows of a way to make it that would be awesome but we have not found a way.

Thank you, though! Hopefully I can make it work or if someone has a tutorial elsewhere. I appreciate the advice!

Here's what I wanted to have with the dark gray flightsuit

And here is the same color scheme with the flightsuit I have now

What do you think of it? Do you think that the dark navy flightsuit looks out of place with the blue color scheme? Should I change the colors? Thanks for the feedback

Echo what lady bedlam said. I Tried to dye 65/35 poly cotton blend. You will NOT be able to do it with RIT dye. I tried. I even used that exact Ghost buster tutorial which is horse crap.

One option ( i have not tried) is to use a synthetic dye. Dharma trading is the way to go for buying it.

If your wanting gray coverall just buy gray coveralls. SPeaking from expierince as I went thorugh 3 flight suits trying to dye them. Just buy the coveralls they have light and dark gray. Nother linky below. Good luck.

Thanks for letting me know about that tutorial! Saved my life, lol. But I would buy a new one, and I might, but I don't think they'll have the Dark Grey in my size (Medium short I think). They have Dark Olive or something like that but I rather not have the green tint to it. Plus it's expensive considering I got mine for $30 and I still have to buy a vest for $80 and my helmet for $150. It might not sound like a lot but I'm a high school student with a minimum wage job working two days a week    In the summer is when I make most of my money as I work for my family during then and hopefully, especially in July, I'll be able to drop a couple hundred easily on my kit so I might buy a gray one then. Especially since I won't be able to apply until August (18th bday). But thank you for all the advice you've given about the tutorials. I really appreciate it!
