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.

i had this sort of problem when painting some wheels, i was told to give them a light dust coat of spray primer then paint them, and it worked

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