There's a type of spray paint meant to be used on plastic lawn furniture and such. It sticks to polypropylene and other plastics most paint won't stick to. Might give it a try... think I saw it at Lowe's.

interesting...would it scrape off? just in case

wait a second...are those little plugs on the door handle rubber?!

Subject: Re: Oh u know i love the 2 tone.... Wed Mar 28, 2007 1:23 pm

They are very low durometer, would qualify as rubber as far as most are concerned. Generally, paint won't stick, so the above mentioned Krylon Fusion is probably your only chance.

A brand called "SEM" makes a automotive vinyl spary paint that works very well. I don't know about other colors, but when I had to match the interior on a 97 Z-28 it was a perfect match. You'll have to look for it at an automotive paint retailer though.

You can get SEM online. I think I got some from Year One. It does work fantastic but it will kill brain cells if you don't take precautions.
