Montana Spray Paint for tails?

[maimerd]

Hi all, I've searched the tailmaking threads, but haven't found the answer to my question. So I hope I'm not bothering anyone by asking this.
I'm a fine art oil paint trained painter, but I've also trained in street art spray paint. I'm wondering if anyone has experimented with Montana Spray Paint to spray paint on spandex swimming material? I'm going to be making a very basic tail out of spandex swimming material soon and I was thinking about using Montana Spray Paint to paint a gradient on the tail itself. I just do not have the funds to purchase an airbrush machine and kit currently. So spray paint is a much more feasible plan for me right now. Any tips you could give me are greatly appreciated!

I painted my neoprene tail with crylon! It worked great!

Awesome! I'll look into it! I know that the Montana Spray Paint is a pretty solid paint, I got it all over my hands and it took me weeks to get it all off. I'll probably end up doing a gradient on a scrap piece of fabric to see what happens. :)

Yep, definitely do a test :) I'm curious about how this paint will hold up to use in a chlorinated pool.

Good luck!

Thank you so much! I'm just worried that my test won't be that accurate because I use my Aunt's pool for mermaiding, and since it's her own private pool, it's not as chlorinated as other pools. I'll try to take it to my friends gym's pool, since it's much more chlorinated, to do a test swim. I'm hoping to have a GoPro by then, so I'll try to post a video on my youtube channel. :)
