Rifle Scopes Ever painted a pair of Steiner binos?

[Robert_2040]

I'm getting ready to camo a pair of Steiner 10x42 binos. Does anyone have any experience spray painting the Steiner rubberized finish? I don't want to make a $500 mistake. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe you should think about getting them dipped instead?

Thanks for the excellent links Humble. I'm going to bookmark them for future reference. Amazing technology...but more than I'm willing to spend on binos. Unless I hear that it won't work, I'm going with the ol' spray paint method.

That rubber isnt going to hold paint. It'll flake off almost immediately.
