Stop paint chipping on rubber accessories

Stop paint chipping on rubber accessories

Custom WorkstationI was painting a cape (rubber) and it looked like it came out OK but as soon as I flexed it, it cracked and chipped. Now I did give it multiple thin coats and even a little fine grit sand. Not really sure how to continue.....

Please wait...

I use VHT Vinyl Dye, it's the only spray I now of that's actually dye. Everything else is just paint, but may work if it's flexible, like the fabric/upholstery spray paints.
I don't bother with dyes like RIT that require boiling and soaking, I never get satisfactory results.
Good luck!
Painting in thin multiple coats doesn't do anything to prevent cracking or paintrub. I wish I knew where people were getting that misinformation so I can delete it lol.
