How to Paint a White Suit to Make Snow Camouflage
If you like to hunt in the winter, then you might need a snow camouflage suit to help you blend with your surroundings. Snow camouflage can be hard to find in stores, and it is often more expensive than more conventional forms of camouflage. But with a little fabric paint, you can create snow camouflage on any white outfit.

Get the white suit dirty. Wear it to work on a car or other hard labor. Or wash it with dirty items such as cleaning rags. This will remove the new white look and make it blend in with snow that has been on the ground for a while.

2
Hang the suit on a clothesline. This will give you 360-degree access while painting. Use a yardstick to make the arms stick out and clothespins to spread the fabric farther.

Start by painting on some branches. Use the gray primer spray paint. Use the area where you will hide to guide your work. If it has lots of fallen branches, then your patterns should be extended upward and be heavier toward the bottom of the outfit. But if it has mostly upright trees, you will want to go with a horizontal branch work pattern. Go light at first. You can always add more once you have tested the outfit.

Add dimension by using the black webbing. Follow the branch pattern already established. Do not cover it up or use black webbing on every part. Instead, supplement your branches with the webbing. This will add dimension to the suit.

5
Adjust the pattern. Once the paint has dried, test the suit. Hang it in the area and look at it from a distance. Notice what makes the suit stand out. The suit might be too light or the branches on the suit could be horizontal when they should be vertical. Add branches and more webbing to the suit.
