Cosmetic operation on TLS350

ICEDAN · November 26th, 2006, 10:54 AM

Not long ago I purchased an old TLS350 and the color is black and LIME green. What I want to find out:
Is there any way of coloring the green part of the suit???(black of course)

Shallow Hal aka ICEDAN:-)

The only thing I've heard of is send it back to DUI, they cut, unstich, glue... Well you've got the picture. It's doable, has been done once that I know of (on a CLX450) but expensive as on top of all the work they have to do a leak/pressure test.

what's wrong with lime green? mine is fluorescent yellow. i guess that's the problem with buying second hand suits.

You can always try a black waterproof marker on a little spot. I've used it for wetsuits too :-))
For a discoloured wing I've used black dye/paint for clothes but that doesn't hold on the fabric they use for drysuits.
Have fun.

How about this: Rub it against rough concrete and then stick it into heavily chlorinated water. Then leave to dry in the sun. Repeat the process a few times and the color should fad and you also get the old look.

hehe
