    Can you recommend a black rubber paint?

    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.

            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)"
