How to make a Gort costume

Step 3 Making Gort's shirt

The gray turtleneck is treated just like the sweat pants in the previous step. Stuff it to make it easier to paint. Extend the turtle-neck before painting because you will want it in this position in the end. Try not to get paint inside the shirt when spraying. I expect this would not be comfortable. The paint does stiffen the cloth some so don't apply it any thicker than you must.

You won't get a super-shiny robot finish using cloth for shirt and pants. The somewhat shiny matte-like gray result seemed OK to me. An alternative would be to get silver emergency space blankets, cut out shirt and pants from them and "stitch" the bits together with tape or some other fastening. This seemed like too much work and did not seem likely to be very durable.
