ITW Kickstarter PreProduction: Making the Vest part: TWO!

I'm back, bitches and bitchettes. I got the vest all done and purdy-like today. Let's dip our toes into the jacuzzi and get started.

The first step was to spray paint the vest in a black primer...

"Did someone say Black Slimer? Ah yeah."

No damn it. A black primer. It allows me to cover the vest in an uniform color then I can add other colors on top. Any how. I covered the entire vest in a BLACK PRIMER.

I added some old Korean War pouches onto the vest. Pretty easy. Glued them on and primed them too. Bam!

Step three, or actually 6 or so... Lost count. Step three of part two was to spray paint the body of the vest in an olive drab color. I covered the armor part in masking tape and paper. Make sure to get in every little crack with that tape. I then used a camouflage spray paint and satin olive spray paint to color it. 

Hmmm. Satin Olive sounds like a fancy French restaurant. I'll make reservations for this afternoon for two. I'll see if my mom is available to go. Or maybe the mail lady. I'm so alone.

I did the opposite for the vest once it dried and spray painted the "armor" portion with a metallic silver color and a bright shiny silver for the edges. I brushed off the paint with a paper towel to distress it. I also threw on a nifty little pin for some character. I pinned my own body with hundreds of these pins to give me character. Apparently it still hasn't worked. Maybe nipple piercings will do the trick.

I threw this painted beauty into the dirt and rocks to rough it up a bit and there you have it, the battle armor vest. Stay tuned for the hat! That's right, a hat! It's a thrill a minute here at the Into This World blog, ain't it?
