The Original 7834 Raleigh/Durham | Subject: RE: Wetsuit Question Just think how much cooler the aerial shots of the swim start would look with painted wetsuits. And...it would be so much easier to recognize friends! |

Master 1468 Tampa, Fl | Subject: RE: Wetsuit Question I thought it would be cool to paint it like aquaman. I thought it appropriate since it would be in the swim portion and I mostly will be racing in the Gulf due to my dislike of freshwater. Also it would come in handy if there was ever an incident with a shark, they might mistake me for Aquaman and leave me alone. |

Queen BTich 12411 , | Subject: RE: Wetsuit Question LOL!! An airbrushed wetsuit. Put something really classy like "Renee loves..." or something like that. Renee - 2005-11-09 2:37 PM Found it! Airbrushed! Seriously, I want a cool little graphic airbrushed on my wetsuit but not sure if it will 'keep' well. Must investigate. It's like getting a tatt for my wetsuit... hmmm... |

Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: Wetsuit Question A cascade of orchids, from my hip across the thigh to inside of knee (I'm getting a shortie, at least that's the plan). Don't steal my idea! I will hunt you down!!! |

Master 1468 Tampa, Fl | Subject: RE: Wetsuit Question Thats the other problem. I want to get a long john style wetsuit (sleeveless with full leg) and that wouldn't look right it aquamans suit only went around his chest and not his arms. So I would have to get the full wetsuit if I was going to go through the trouble of painting it. |

Champion 11641 Fairport, NY | Subject: RE: Wetsuit Question You're onto something here. The manufacturers logos are imprinted somehow. The question is can the process be done outside of the factory and at what cost? How about scales? or a recreation of a shark bite? or both? or in my case the words "Big deal, I'll catch you during the run." |

Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: Wetsuit Question Don, wanna do the graphics for my shortie? BT discount? I believe logos and such are silk screened onto the suits. |

Elite 2421 | Subject: RE: Wetsuit Question Good news, I've found a place to purchase the equipment to do it, now I just need 7-800 preorders to make it economically viable. Or you could just find your own site online and see what they think the durability would be. If they can do it I want to silk sceen my full john to look like overalls. bts |

Master 1468 Tampa, Fl | Subject: RE: Wetsuit Question rotf that is an awesome idea. But don't worry I won't steal it, I still want to go with aquaman. I have a friend who owns a T-shirt/embroidering type factory. I'm gonna call him and get the scoop. |
