Neoprene is a good insulator.  This is a problem when the target environment is Florida.

So about half of the suit actually has no neoprene on it, which exposes a good portion of his skin to the air.  

You can see this pretty well when the suit is held up to the light.

His inseam, the entire under arm area to the wrist, most of the shoulders, the top of the head, and a good portion of the chest are all exposed to the air for cooling.

To keep this looking right and not to compromise the breathability of the spandex, you can't paint it.

So after all the panels are attached and correct, you will need to tape off all the spandex areas before painting.
