    Custom Suit Question

    I'm working on a figure that is going to require me to add some color to a bodysuit. Fabric markers seem to be a pretty obvious choice but my experience with these is that when you mark on a suit with them the color climbs the fabric making for a fuzzy border. Looking for suggestions on how to make a cleaner look. If there is someone out there that will custom screen a bodysuit I'll be happy to compensate you. Thanks for looking - any input is appreciated!

    Using contact paper masking and spray paint has worked for me in the past.

      I hadn't thought of that. Thanks Lonnie!

        I use these paints: https://www.amazon.com/Fabric-Creati.../dp/B07B46GSNX

        goes on great with a wide sponge brush, color is solid, and and vibrant. Here is a Molecule Man I made using a MXY OEM suit...I color stripped the suit leeching out most of the orange, and then painted up with the green apple.
