I'm guessing some kind of really flexible paint like the stuff used on R/C car polycarbonate bodyshells.

Mark.

You'll want to use a rattle can vinyl dye.

I done a few sets, and even the factory vinyl door panels with it.

I changed my tan arm rests to black with spray can dye.. It's been 2 years and about 4K miles on the car and they still look good.

My dad changed his black ones to red.. Been about 8 mo. He also sprayed his black vinyl door panels white.

You can buy the vinyl dye at any parts store (advance, auto zone, pep boys) out here wal-mart has it too.
