Painting cargo cover?

Using Rapco or similar spray paint, can the troop/cargo cover be effectively painted? I bought an extra cargo cover at a good price. But it is desert tan and not the standard camo pattern I have on my other cover. Can it be painted to match after proper prep/cleaning or will it fail quickly and flake, peel, etc?

Thank you!

Yes, it will work and not peel. I painted mine with Rapco and Aervoe paint about 4 years ago and it has never flaked.

Is it new? If so I might trade you.

The seller I recently purchased it from represented that it is new. however , it has some storage dirt that probably needs to be scrubbed or pressure washed off. It has all the rubber tubing and nylon straps.

PM me if you want.

Where are you located? I'm in the Sacramento area.
