You can paint most rubber and it'll work fine, until you flex it. So, since things are never easy, put it on then paint it.

In the UK I used to use Humbrol upholstery paint to cover worn plastic seats on my old car way back in the 70's. It lasted well but I don't know if iis still available.

I have found there is a good fabric paint in small bottles (like nail varnish) called Cameo. See www.fabricpaint.com or order from
