Right now I'm searching for rubber sheeting to make custom pockets. I'm not sure what thickness I should get, but 1/32 inch seems to be alright. It's very cheap, so if it's not right, no big loss.

I don't know if it would hold up long-term on an item that moves as much as a jacket. It peels of surfaces by just getting an edge and pulling.
If the body is vinyl, there are vinyl spray dyes.

I was referring to the tiny bits between the bumps on the red material, I did suggest a dye for the grey parts and sleeves though
Thanks. I ordered from your link. I have scrap pieces from the jacket I can do tests with. See which color looks the best and which one hold up to movement and abrasion.

Looking forward to seeing it.
So I did my first test with the plastidip on a scrap piece and it turned out very well. The color is much better than the original light grey and it does not crack or peel even with a lot of bending and folding. Doing tests with abrasion made me find that if you scratch it with your finger nails hard or rub it against carpet it causes some slight discoloration. Very subtle. Once I get the vinyl dye I will do the same tests and compare the colors.
The color looks better and darker in person.

Hey! I have recently purchased this HC jacket. Looking to do the same or even just keep it for fun and completely make a replica. I also checked out the jacket fabric from ETSY and have to say it looks great. Have you made any progress on this build?
Cheers,

Actually yes but just a little. I tested the vinyl dye and it is a little lighter in color than the plastidip but stands up against abrasion a little better. So what I want to do is put a coat of the vinyl dye first and cover it with the plastidip. But before I do that I will test that method first to make sure it doesn't react badly.

Will someone please give a link to the red stuff that people are using to mod
Unfortunately I scrapped the project. I dont have a lot of time or space where I live. The material I got was also poor quality. It was like stuck together in a lot of places and when I got it unstuck it was warped.
Its a good base because the arms are fairly accurate and it is fairly light. You just need to get the red material. I believe the user Cavx has the capability to make it, but he is really busy with his Nike MAG Footwear bag so he might not be able to help you at the moment.
