Default Painting Excal limbs?

I've been thinking about painting my Excal Exocet limbs black.
I'm in a wheelchair and mostof my hunts are from groundblinds that are totally black inside.
What type of paint would be safe to paint the limbs with?

I was told to try an automotive paint. You would need a flex agent in the paint. The same as on a plastc bumper to prevent cracking and promote bending without flaking. Good luck and let us know what happens! BTW it's nice to have a guinea pig! LOL!

I did a camo job on my Vixen and just used regular camo spray paint on the limbs. So far, so good.
