When I googled this all i found was people trying to get paint off drysuits...
I have a surplus second-hand drysuit heading in my direction. Not 100% sure what use it will be since I've given up diving, but had vague thoughts of untangling props or salvaging anchors in shallow water or even, god forbid, as an abandon ship suit.
The one downside to this suit is that it's all black, which is a daft colour for anybody in the water who is not carrying a limpet mine. The fashion for black kit was just coming in when I was diving; my old drysuit (long since sold) was yellow and my stab jacket was orange and I was quite happy with that. So I'm thinking of making this suit more visible, probably by painting the top parts orange or red.
So - is there some kind of paint which won't damage a membrane drysuit, won't wash off in water, and won't crack off as the material flexes?
(Before anyone mentions it, I do have some stick-on reflective tape and might add a few bits, but it doesn't really help in the daytime.)
Cheers,
Pete
