Update on my Escort

Just painted the front seats from the Prima and placed in the base.
What paint can you use to paint the rear seats as they are more rubber?

It dont seem to want to take to the seats or the blue paint.

I have sanded the blue down but it wont ake 100%. Think i am gonna have to build it up a bit at a time.

Probably dont help that its a slight metallic base so its quite a thin paint too. The matt black works better
