Whats the best paint to use for rubber materials?

When we moved into this house there were these big planters outside but they need a face lift, they look like they are made out of a hard rubber material, not really that flexable but flex a little bit, about the same flex as tractor tires give, for referance, but at any rate what paints do you think would work, they will be outside... any product suggestions and what applacation brush on or spray on?? THX for your answers :)

    Go to a home center like Home Depot and get a spray paint specifically designed for rubber and remember to prime it before with the specified primer.

    These paints are flexible when dry so never cracks, the primer bonds the paint to the rubber.

    **** luck!!

    If you cannot find the answer, just go to google and type in paint questions, or whatever fits, maybe even hobbies paint. Hobby Lobby and Michaels are my favorate places to go. Have fun.
