Why I don't use Black fabric dye on Denim (Ancient Crust Punk Secret) 

I was really expecting this to be cringe but you proved me wrong. Definitely going to do this

Oh this is a cool look. I love DIY so much!

Tried it. Loved it. Thanks a million

One thing not to do is dry it with a hair dryer. I learned this the hard way. The heat from the dryer will heat press the paint into the jacket and make it unbelievably stiff. Be sure to just air dry it over night or wait a few hours before doing a second coating. Do the same for the second coating as well. Also, make sure when it dries that the jacket is not wrinkled because you'll have permanent stiff wrinkles in the jacket afterward (Then again, this was after I heat pressed the paint). I'm about to do a second vest here this weekend and hopefully I get it right this time. Oh! And make sure to put thin evenly painted coating on. I made the mistake of dousing my jacket with paint and it was unwearable. Be patient, it'll work out. I'd also suggest painting some samples if you have some scrap denim around.

I love this channel.

I did this once with heavy body acrylic and it was a huge mistake lmao. It never broke in and the paint flaked off

this works really well on denim less so with canvas, it takes a hell of alot longer to loosen up

I noticed the issue with "black" cloth dye is that it's deep deep blue (it's just meant to give your faded black clothes back to a clacker state) so I mix black and brown fabric dye and voila ! It worked well from me honestly, but this glossy "rubbery" finish is really cool, what'q the paint I don't recognize the b bottle we don't have that in France I don't think. Or I was thinking painting with linogravure paint which is supposed to stay on fabric on even with screen printing ink (but it's not the same price I suppose).

I have this a go on some faded blue discount jacket from a thrift store and underestimated the amount I'd need for a sleeveless jacket. I was using the cheapest 1€ acrylic and didn't have enough to finish it, so I gor another, different tube for around €4. The cheap glossy shit DEFINITELY worked better. Also, matte doesn't have nearly the same effect. Thanks a ton for the tips!

From my experience I noticed the big ass chip brushes are best they got packs of those at dollar tree for bout a buck the problem with the sponge ones is half the paint ends up soaking up into the foam more than the actual thing your painting or when you press on it just makes these giant bubbly piles pop up

Dude, thank you! I almost tried to dye my motorcycle vest using Rit and it has leather shoulders and waist. This is perfect. Never thought of painting it. This will definitely work. I'm launching the Bradley Six channel in a few weeks, I'll comment when it launches and you can see what it looks like

i made a def leppard style tour shirt from the 80s(the british flag front) with tape, and blue and red spray paint...was on a white shirt... (youre punk you can figure out the sequence of spraying the colors) i machine washed the spray painted shirt, it fades a small bit, and you can dry it in your moms dryer after wash 3!

I got a really good deal on some of this paint. . . but didn't realize until I got home that it's not the GLOSSY one (same brand, black). Does the glossy make that much of a difference? Will it still bond, or am I SOL?

I did two coatings. How do you get rid of the crunchy and stiff feelin ?

Any tips for making it less itchy? Or will it just become less itchy when I break it in? Just asking because I did this to my vest and it’s so scratchy when my arms rub against it

Thanks for this tutorial, did this on a pair of jeans which came out looking brilliant, although they still feel a bit boxy after a month of regular wear, any ideas on how to soften them up quicker?

Do you think it's safe to paint using other colors on the back of the jacket once the black acrylic paint is fully sealed?

I tried this on my jacket with the exact same brand of paint. It's drying right now, but whenever I bend the fabric it cracks a bit and you can see the underlying white fibers slightly. Is this something I should be worried about or will it go away once I break it in? I just did 2 normal/thin-ish layers

Could you use this method on a fleece jacket? Used this method on some paints and it was awesome.

If I do this, will it be a pain in the ass to sew through? I want a black jacket but all I have are blue ones...thought of dying one but this seems more my style. I'm just afraid I won't be able to sew my patches on once finished.

so does the color stay ? like it doesn’t rinse out once it’s washed right? my goal is to just have the denim jacket turned black

bet someone else've asked but do you know if this works for other textiles? i have a white canvas tote that i wanna dye real quick but i dont have access to real dyes. will def be using this on my blue vest though!

So like i don't have a denim jacket it's more of a kalki so would I do it with dye or paint?

Reptil, I’m doing a lil peep inspired Battle Vest (R.I.P. to the homedog) and I was planning on making the whole thing white, but didn’t know if bleaching it or painting it with the gloss paint would work better, any tips?

Does it work with regular acrylic paint? I just want it to be black and don't need it to be glossy.

Would regular black acrylic paint work if I didn't want the glossy texture, or at least have it not as strong, the only black dye that's available near is me shit and is basically gone after washing two times so this seems like a good alternative, but I want normal black denim

would this work for canvas// what would you do for canvas

Fuckin RAD! Thanks for the tips!

What kind of paint did you use?

what’s the name of the first song you used

Sick, does it wear off fast?

Can you use this paint on stretch/knit cotton?

If you were born before 1990 this is how you made it work. If you were born after 2000 you go on ebay and buy a black jacket haha Thanks for the vid Reptil! you have the knowledge

What's the song at 0:43? Thanks

How many then for a men’s vest?

What happens when it rains

Spongebrush Crust Jacket.

When will this terrible paint smell fade away? I can’t stand it.

I did two thick layers of gloss. It looks amazing, super shiny. My only problem is that it's stiff as hell! I can't seem to break it in no matter what I do. Any ideas?
