Is it possible to paint on Nylon/Spandex?

Post by Siaarn » Fri Mar 09, 2007 5:06 am

I'm planning on cosplaying as Midna later on in the year and I need a full body suit, and I found one on Ebay but it's 80% nylon and 20% spandex, does anyone know if it's possible to paint on that with normal fabric paint?
Oh my gawsh.

I'm glad to find fellow future-Midna-cosplayers here n_n I was kinda discouraged while looking around at different sites. But to paint on synthetic, stretchy fabrics, you need a special kind of paint. Here's a link for where to get them:
