  I have used ‘Plastikote’ spray for years for putting effects on vinyl, available from most diy stores

  Cheers

  i have a company next to us that sells auto paints and aerosols. a good few years back now i used to mix up some sericol ink and thinner to the colour i wanted and gave them it down in a can. they would put it into an aerosol for me to use. (this was only for very small amounts though… you wouldn’t believe just how little paint is in a spray can… anyway. i also used our compressor and spray gun for larger bits. we would also spray banners the colour we needed them if the banner never came in that colour. worked a treat!

  Try this link, you can use automotive spraypaint.

  Or try Victory for frogjuice.
