My surface marker/lift bag had faded from years of ocean dives and I doubted I could be seen if I needed to use it. It’s still good so I found the best spray paint and restored the color. It’s fabric spray made by Tulip. It didn’t get stiff or rub off when it was wet. Saved me a lot of money.

You think that it will hold for a long while before it fades again?

I may be the first person to do this so I have no way of knowing. I did talk to someone who had used it on shirts and a canvas bag and she said they held up nicely. Not a great comparison but painting it myself cost about $12 which is a whole lot better than buying a new one for $90.
