The next best thing you can attempt is to first get a white Lycra and then also a light colored Car headliner material to try and bond the white lycra to. The key is to dye the white lycra to the color you would wish to consider and then getting the bonding as wrinkle free as you can. Once all that is done then you get to deal witht he same problem the Seamtress that has been working on suits for a few of us and that is sewing Neoprene is not easy and Car headliner is going to be about the same sort of problem.

I know ZIA, DCB and Myself argued over the color and the material for the suit for about a month before everyone agreed with me that it was neoprene that it was made of. ZIA then with some help from me did a lot of foot and phone work to get things rolling for us includeing getting dye sampled of several different lycra materials to match to the the color we all decided on. If I recall the Luycra that was used started off as a white Lycra that has a sheene to it and when the dye was added gave the purple a semi metallic look to it which is what was needed. It is a shame that another run of the material can be done. I know How much of a real pain it was to organise this because ZIA and myself talked ablot about it back then and geez it has been 2 years since most of us began this project. I bet most are further along than I am.
