I got some Pilot industrial paint markers. They're supposed to be flame, cold and water resistant, and are quite opaque.

So I decided to test them out first on monoprene Scubapro Go Sports, and soon on technopolymer Xdeep EX1's.

I'll post updates on longevity.
As for application. It was easy and clearly visible. It cures fast, and it's quite durable. It smelles OK, so no problem of using it indoors.

I've attached pictures of before and after.

Also found out that if you apply a thicker layer. It will take forever to dry and it will run.

I'll be curious to see how it holds up after numerous dives. Also on multiple surfaces.

I used another brand of cheap paint-marker on my scuba-tanks, and they did ok. It took a while, but they did eventually wear down from areas which there was friction, or stuff that would rub against it. Since my reasoning was mostly identifying equipment as mine, the marking have been replaced with printed stickers with my contact-info.
