I have a 2mm shorty wetsuit that got "Bleached" in a pool session. Unknown to us they had shocked the water with Bromide and it left a shadow of my gear on my suit. Kind of like a tie dye gone wrong.

Anyone ever try to dye a wetsuit? Any tips or tricks?

Leave it in the sun for about six weeks and the black part will turn grey,mmmhhhh. :wink:
 
heh....the problem is the blue turned to a swirled mix of yellow white an light blue....its ugly....you can actually see a perfect outline where my weight belt and weights were...the black portions became a lighter shade of black...almost salty...
