haha before anyone shoots me on sight for my inflate-a-pack, I hope to start on one really soon. I used the Franklin pads and black RIT dye. They came out a better shade of grey than I thought. Can't remember already, don't think I used it all.
Wish I would have taken off the Franklin logo in a better way, or left it on maybe. just you can see where the foam under it is where I messed it up in a rush to scrape Franklin off(bad idea). No one noticed, it has a "worn" look now..haha
the nonpad part of the pads came out a really dark gray with a lighter square but the "bubble" part I'm very pleased with. They looked awesome to me. Well tucking in the "extra" material top and bottom inside
I personally just couldn't leave them white so I dunno. I remember when I was looking for pads some people said they used them and I remember someones costume with white pads I found in a search.
BTW Thanks again to everyone who posts here. Really helped me with my costume as its coming along better working more on the belt gizmo, yellow hose etc. as I get ready to venture into pack building.
