Cape Question

Cape Question
Posted in
Custom WorkstationHad plans for a DC Collectibles Zatanna cape but it's that rubbery type of cape so when I primed it the paint chips and cracks every time it moves. Is there a solution to get around this issue or are these types of capes just not paintable?

Plain acrylic hobby paint crack and chipped soon after application. But I've put on several coats of the leather paint and the cape is completely flexible with no signs of cracking or chipping. It's an amazing water-based acrylic paint I'd recommend to anyone trying this. Best part, a 1 oz. was only $3. If you can't find it locally it is available on amazon and elsewhere I'm sure.
Maybe this will help someone else out as well.
I'll have to try some because I'll be painting capes soon.
