Lay the costume and mask on a flat surface and, after you're done with one side, let it sit and dry for about two hours.

Method 3 of 9: The Amazing Spider-Man Costume (2012 movie)
Step 1. Buy a Spider-Man costume at a store

Use blue oil paint.

Method 8 of 9: Vigilante Spider-Man Costume (from 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man movie)
Step 1. Buy a black M-65 jacket
The other black jackets will not have the same effect. Trust me.

Step 4. Buy a black cap
Just like the ones you wear in winter or to look like a hipster.

Step 7. Cut out the eye holes on the costume mask
Step 8. Sew the cap to the mask
Make sure you roll the bottom edge up a little.
Step 9. Paint a beehive pattern over the entire mask with 3D paint
Remember that Peter Parker himself used this type of mask to create the actual costume.
Step 10. When the dimensional paint has dried, use the fabric glue on the glasses and glue the bridge and temples right onto the mask
Step 11. Buy web shooters on the internet
Since they are not the ones used in the final costume, it is best to leave the watch bezel attached. If you can afford it, buy the web shooter from eBay for around 230 euros.
Step 12. Assemble the various pieces
Method 9 of 9: Spider-Man 2099 costume (Miguel O'Hara)
Step 1. Order a bright dark blue costume
Make sure it's very polished, just like in the comic.
Step 2. Buy some red 3D paint
You'll need a lot of it.
Step 3. If you are capable, make a cloak
It will have to look like it is made of cobwebs.
Step 4. Buy some Batman gloves and cut off the hand
You will only need the forearm part.
Step 5. Reproduce the design on the costume
Make sure the spider looks like a skull with spider legs coming out of it. It is very important to make it so that it looks as terrifying as possible.
Step 6. Color the remaining part of the gloves
Paint it the same bright blue as the jumpsuit and sew them to the costume.
Step 7. Use the 3D paint to make the designs around the eyes
Miguel O'Hara's costume had no lenses, Spider-Man could see through the thin material of the mask. Paint it to create a pair of angry, arched brows.
Step 8. Cut out the insoles from an old (or even new) pair of slippers
Attach them to the bottom of the costume. If you can't sew, use fabric glue.
Step 9. Make sure your costume matches your wishes
Make any necessary adjustments and then try to put it on.
