Re: Anyone ever tried to Cammo a black suit??

My orca wetsuit is smoothskin outside and i just used Krylon Spraypaint that is made for plastic. It seems to work just fine. No damage to the suit. The suit seems just a bit stiff at first till you stretch it out and the paint can relax a bit. (Note its not the neoprene that is stiff its the paint. I tested it by removing the paint off a sample piece and seeing that the neoprene is normal under it) I used 5 colors for the cammo. Tan, Dark olive green, light green, medium green, and sky blue. I made stencils that fit together nicely. I wanted my belly to be light blue under the cammo and my back to be darker black under the cammo. So i put a layer of light blue/dark blue and tan on the belly and left the back black. Then i laid on the stencils and painted away. Ill post pics tonight when i get home. I have no durability tests yet, but i will in a few weeks.
