I just checked the archives an I did find about painting on neoprene, but this is not what Iam looking for. I was woundering if anybody has painted on smoothskin neoprene? If so what paint did you use? An if or not did you have to heat set it?

Yes Ilyena Directly onto rubber. Oh I forgot to update this I found a way to do this an to make it work but alittle more testing is still needed. But for the most part it holds up pretty well. There is a way to heat treat neoprene without hurting the neoprene. From what I tried an was told it works.
When you heat treat fabric paint on neoprene you use fabric or a teflon sheet an do the recomended 2 minutes over the paint but do NOT hold the steam iron in one spot. Keep the iron moving. This way it will not damage the neoprene. As this for working on spandex I have no clue. Neorene is alot more durable than spandex.
