Question Black Liquid Latex Used For Body Suit?

Hello...

My first post...love this forum BTW.

Just wondering if anyone has used black liquid latex as the coloring for body suits on female figures with success???

Like a Catwoman or Selen suit? If so, did you seal it, or shine it with a latex polish to help keep the peeling down?

Thanks
AA

Liquid stuff as in the stuff people use like body paint?

not sure it would last a long time.

if ya want a latex feel, best bet is to use a high gloss black paint. Which gives that same look and lasts much longer. Plus i would think it be cheaper then the latex stuff.

But i never tried it, and not sure what the outcome would be.

Thanks for the reply Vince.

Yes, I'm talking about the latex people use for body paint and also the stuff like plasti dip.

I've got 2 Selen's coming and wanting to test the latex on one of them. I'll keep everyone posted on the results.

Latex is difficult to use and achieving a smooth finish is going to be difficult. Better to simulate it with paint.

Latex also rots over time.

Latex will degrade over time and remove its self from the surface.
