Painting The Gm Floor Mats

I Bought The Gm Floor Mats (rubber Honeycomb) A While Back.

I Want To Paint The Gold Trim/logo Red. What Paint Would I Use That Would Stick And Stay On Even With Abuse From Getting In And Out The Weather And So On?

Has Anyone Done This?

yeah, that's what I was thinking. There has to be a paint that stays on "rough" condition rubber.

Being that its rubber paints will more than likely crack from flexing......you would need more of a dye! I believe you could get something from the Arts & crafts store that would work!

So the first thing it came up with in the search is something called rubberbond paint. But that was 98 bucks a gallon. Back to the drawing boards

How to paint a rubber vagina?
My workplace provides training to medical services so has various teaching aids and models. They are currently having a clear out and are replacing all the old worn models with new ones. I have acquired a rubber vagina used to train midwives which i plan to spray paint gold and mount on a wooden board. It will then become the 'Fanny of the Week' trophy and will be awarded to deserving recipients within my department.

I am looking for advice on what kind of paint will stick to rubber as i don't want to end up with a flakey or indeed ruined vagina as they can be hard to come by.

Please do not ask for pic's as this is a proper anatomical model and i do not wish to offend anyone.
