It might be that the poster board is simply too reflective. Since the velvet "absorbs" the light, the greying doesn't really happen. Honestly any fabric with a velvet-like nap should do the trick, I just went with velvet for simplicity's sake.

Sweet pic BTW, I just picked up the Legacy Tigerzord after the SDCC announcement of the Thunder Megazord. It's a rather nice update to the original.
