    I've been away from the industry for some time now. Just recently I have good friend who purchased a used RIB, that appears to have some sort of painted coating applied to portions of the inflatable tubes.

    What sort of coatings have been developed over the past 10 years for 'preserving' these inflatables, particularly in tropic sun conditions??

    So no one has attempted to paint their inflatable ??

    I know there is a brush on paint that I have seen but it looks pretty bad. I don't know anything about the brand but I was wonder about using spray on vinyl paint that is available on Amazon?
