The problem with offering a non painted version to be painted later is that you will not achieve the correct look. The top stitching is not painted. While there is evidence of red paint splashed over to other joined parts, that red appears to be from rubbing against the painted panel.
If you have a deft hand and are very conservative with your paint, you can paint the panels without touching the actual stitching, FYI.
I worked something out with Indy where he worked extra hard to get me this by Dragoncon. I am 3D printing the jacket greeblies as we speak. Definitely need to weather the jacket and only have about 24 hours to do it so I could use some advice!
What's the normal turn time from order to my door on something like this?
If you're using this jacket for a Poe Dameron costume... here are the correct boots!
Po Zu brand Well-2 boots in brown
(Poe's boots seem to be re-dyed or painted black or very dark brown. Several wear marks reveal the original brown color underneath)
