Painting on Neoprene

[lanwu]

I would like to add a label onto my wetsuit (just need 1 color - white) & was wondering what paint or substance i can find that would do the job?

I'm not a professional dive/wetsuit shop in any manner....so looking for a simple solution. Anyone?

Does tipex/white-out work??

I've seen this at my LDS. I've never used it, but it claims to be for most types of scuba gear, and seems like it would flex, so hopefully it will work on wetsuits

There are paints made for hypalon boats but I don't know how good the adherence to a more-flexible wetsuit would be. Making the label out of white rubber or latex and gluing it might be more durable. Interesting question.

What about screen printing ink (starts at about $12-$15 a pint). Do you have any screen printers near you for info? I know that it is possible but not sure how DIY friendly it is. If you can't get any info on it pm me and I would be happy to ask a friend of mine that is in the business.

We use this to mark our rental wet suits and BCDs. No issues what so ever with it and depending on what you want to do I would recommend it. Hasn't done any harm to the wet suits or BCD and we have not had to repaint our markings.
