So I tried a bit of an experiment yesterday which failed dismally. I wanted to paint my rubber bi fins rather than the bright orange colour which they are. It was also to cover up some ugly mould stains which I've been unable to scrub out but they don't affect the performance at all so not enough to warrant throwing them out and buying another pair.
I used outdoor paint like what you buy at a hardware store, and whilst the paint dried on nicely after painting, when I took them for a swim in the pool the paint simply peeled off, probably due to the vigorous motion of the fins in the water.
So, is there any way at all to paint rubber fins successfully and have it stay on? I did try roughing up the surface a bit before hand but it didn't seem to help much. Maybe i need to use a different kind of paint? Thanks in advance.
