Hi folks,

Just got a new mask, (FFM actually) but dont like the full clear shirts and such.

IF i were to repaint it, say black or grey or whatever, what sort of paint do you guys know to work and also not damage the silicon shirts and such?

Im canny handy with the mask and spray's so i shouldnt have any issue masking off the lens and clips etc

just wondering,

john

If there is a paint that will stick to flexing silicone in sea water I haven't met it yet.

Sorry...

Your may be out of luck re paint - however waterproof marker pen can be used for colouring in :-)

Even it wears off after a while though

A much simpler solution would be to buy a black mask with a black skirt....:D
