Need to paint on vinyl – what paint type should I use?

[Peter Normington]

dont laugh, but use Viny paintl! I did suggest it a while back, when someone else asked the same question, but apparantlly it works.
Plasticoat also works

Hello there, if you go to page 8 Rob has a demo painting on vinyl, apparently car paint is no good, If I remember rightly Rob uses something called frog juice, hope this helps. regards Mark

From memory, isn’t it coloured frog juice, laminating and colouring at the same time?

Irecently tried painting on vinyl with the Plasticote brand
It stuck to the vinyl and dried quickly. Application tape came away easily and didn’t lift the paint

We use Krylon Fusion over here, don’t think they sell it cross the pond tho.
I have used regular spray paint and then cleared it with 1-Shot UV clear in an aerosol can.
(prior to weeding, of course)
Let dry at least a day and mask with lo-tack app tape just before applying it, and apply wet.
Try a few test pieces first. I always wet the app tape before removing it too.
Love….Jill
