How to keep paint on rubber capes from chipping off?

Posted in Custom Workstation

I have a red superman cape that I need to make white, does anyone have a solution? I don't want to have to make a mold & cast it unless I have to. Any specific paint that may not break of when flexed?

Thanks thats what I was thinking, except I wanna run it thru the airbrush. Maybe I'll try it anyway just mix it with lots of alcohol to thin it. If thats possible.

A few drops of liquid latex into any paint will make it flexible enough so that it doesn't flake-off.
