Painting armrest/door pulls a different colour

[Bigcatfrankie]

Having changed the interior of my car from biscuit to light grey I now need to change the colour of some faded sea green vinyl-covered armrest/door pulls I have bought.
Has anyone successfully done this and what paint is best to adhere to a flexible base, as well as be hardwearing?...........results on the internet give a bewildering array of suggestions on how it should be done.

Thanks.

Tim, you could try the leather/vinyl paint from the furniture clinic: furnitureclinic.co.uk

I recoloured my S2 seats both the leather front and vinyl backs so their products could well help you out.

Tim.....you could recover them and get a perfect match....a trimmer can make stitched covers or you could diy like i did http://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtopic.php? ... 8c9#p80023

Thanks Geoff and Steve...............most useful comments.
I was particularly impressed with your covered armrests, Steve. Very labour intensive and I'm not sure I would have the patience. Think I may well have a word with my local trimmer!
Was playing around with a can of grey spray primer last night and was amazed how close a match it was
though how long primer would last on a door pull is anyone's guess!
