What kind of paint works well on goggle frames

[wazzucrewskier]

I am looking to paint a pair of my anon figments to either neon green or blue and was wondering what type of paint won't crack when the frame flexes. Would like latex based paint work?

Thanks in advance.

Latex paint would probably work BUT it will go on very thick and uneven and basically look like balls. Your best bet would probably be multiple very very very very thin coats of spray paint in whatever colour you're looking for.

hmm alright, didn't know that about latex paint. i think i might see what the guy at the hardware store says too.

thanks for the response man

lightly sand it so that the paint sticks, then mask off the foaam, and spray paint it with a non-gloss spray paint, then if you want it to shine, do a clear coat of polyurethane...

yes. matte paint for the non-gloss.

im gonna do a white and kelly green crowbar setup, might even change the blue on my stretch strap to green... gotta figure out how to though

does non gloss paint stick better do you think? also i was thinking about giving it a coat of primer too, would that help?

yeah the non gloss aka matte, sticks much better, it wont peel off... then if you want to do gloss, then do the urethane coat
