discussion Can you recommend a black rubber paint?

[John Smith]

Hello

Can anyone recommend some kind of black rubber paint?

I need to bond to natural rubber (NRL) and "Shoe Goo II" adhesive, both of which will need to be highly flexed.

Thanks

TBH, I can't help thinking that the must be a better solution... but if all else fails that could be worth a try.
Either way I will need to buy the raw materials.

Right Mark......you beat me to it. Good news is it comes in black as well as other colors. And brother does it stick.....very rubbery when dry. HTH. :thumb2:

Liquid tape

Intriguing suggestion. TBH, I had never even heard of this stuff.

On the down-side it looks incredibly viscous, whereas I only need as thin a layer as possible that is nicely coloured more or less jet black, as it will be painted onto what is in effect a hinge and I need it to flex without having a mechanical impact.
Can Liquid tape be thinned?

PS Meanwhile I was also wonder about a small pot of car tyre paint.
e.g.
"Carplan Tyre wall black paint 250ml"

OR given that I don't need very much of it, even just a paint marker pen?
e.g. "Oil-based Paint Marker Pen Permanent for Tyres Rubber Stone Leather Fabric Plastic Glass (Black)"

Any thoughts?
