Painting Vinyl

[mrom1234567]

I have a conbing pad that is white and green.<br />The green is fading.<br />Is there anything I can paint this vinyl with to bring back the color. I assume it has to be durable anf flexible.<br /><br />Michael

There is a vinyl spray paint on the market. West Marine carries it as do many auto parts stores. I used some on a truck seat back in the 70's and it work well.

Re: Painting Vinyl

You can get a vinyl spray paint at west marine made by tempo that works great.I used it 2 years ago on my Mako seats and it still looks great.It is very very important to follow the prep directions to the T.You must scrub clean every last inch that you are going to paint and then there is a particular thinner that you wipe with before painting.I made sure not to touch the surface to be painted after the final prep.Charlie

I have used some stuff made by S.E.M. in automotive applications and it worked excellent. I bought it at an auto parts store also. As crazy charlie pointed out, follow the directions closely or the dye will not penetrate. He also has a good idea to not touch the surface after final prep. The oils on your hands will contaminate the surface.

I used the SEM product too. I am very happy with the results. Also used a similar product in the past for auto interiors. Had to make salvage yard vinyl arm rest and dash pad match my car's black interior. It never wore off the arm rest or dash after 3 years daily use.
