Here's the problem. M151A2 is getting close to paint stage. I want to paint it 4 color merdc red desert scheme but the green vinyl top is gonn'a look weird. I've got the paint already but wonder if there is a flex and adhesion additive I can mix into the paint to paint the vinyl?

A flex additive wouldn't work, nor is it exactly what u think. U can get an adhesion promoter like bulldog. Auto paint store.
& I wouldn't use ss pAint on it. U can use base coat, or u can buy specific paint for that kind of top ( vinyl dye)I would use paint thinner to wipe the top clean as a prep procedure & will soften the material some for better adhesion. But please remover that there r no garrantes that the paint will stick.
