I bought the bodysuit on eBay for just under $30.  It was a unisex Lycra/Spandex zentai suit.  I would only recommend this if, like me, you don't want to spend much money on the costume since I had many problems.  The problems were:  it had a much more shiny finish than pictured so I had to paint even the black parts to make it more matte, it didn't fit properly and I had to alter it, and I didn't find paint or glue that would stick to it permanently.  I tried using silk-screening ink (which I would recommend for most fabrics) and Slick brand dimensional fabric paint, but I found that plain old craft paint from Jo-Ann's worked best.  It flakes off slowly but I didn't find it to be much of a problem although it will need frequent touch-ups.  For the green lines, I mixed the fluorescent green Slick fabric paint with white and blue craft paint.  Oh, and since zentai suits aren't made for walking around in, I glued white and black pieces of leather to the bottom of the feet for durability with shoe glue.
