    There are products out there made specifically for that job. In NAmerica, one such company is called SEM. They make paints for plastic, vinyl and leather.

      If it is for plastics, try this stuff...

      Vinyl dye spray paint that recolours leather, plastic, vinyl and fabric. Waterproof and flexible, it will not crack, peel or hide surface detail....


      You need to spray it VERY lightly and a number of coats. I have used it on plastics and had great results to "paint" parts to black.

      To ensure that it sticks use isopropyl alcohol first to remove any oil.

        I used plastic primer and painted on top. No problems with adhesion or finish.

            I've the same issue,Another brand to look for is kolorbond, they have paint for many types of plastic inc u pvc

            there is more than 1 colour used in the RS2

            Anthracite RAL7016 is too light, it looks more like ral7021 or 9011
