Subject:painting rubber...any ideas or reccomendations?
Date:Sat, 3 Apr 2004 12:03:18 EST

i have asked this before but i would like to get some more input...  i have a
rubber rear spoiler for another vw  i'd like to paint..  this is basically
foam rubber, with a "leatherette" surface texture..  basically to give you and
idea, it would be like trying to paint something that is the consistancy and
texture of a later model vanagon steering wheel..you know, rubbery foam w/ the
textured look..and flexible.     anyway id like to get some input as to how to
prep the surface,  and what types of paint is reccomended..    im talking
about paint that you can buy at your local FLAPS..in a rattle can..   like vinyl
paint..      is there any flexible vinyl/rubber paints out there that any of
you have used with good results?   color would be white..
any help appreciated..
