Painting rubber, ooh err missus

[nisfan]

Now that I've painted the 18 the rear spoiler is looking a bit sorry, anybody know if there's any paint that won't crack/flake off as it's an old style rubber one?

Usefully I know there is stuff and it can take an amount of bending, what it's called I can't remember!

Plastidip is your friend sir! Amazing stuff

For that stylish authentic 80's look , you should paint it using ordinary paint. Then always use the spoiler as a handle to open and close the boot, this looked great* on XR3s particularly white ones.

you need to use a flex agent or plasticiser as its also known
