I am talking about the black soft rubbery like door jam to keep water out and heat in the car it goes all the way around all 6 windows and around a few other little things...Is it possible to spraypaint them and if so is a special kind needed (I was thinking of taping off and painting them right there on the car seen as I am diong my interior that way too)...
Its no Ferrari but at least it's not a Honda! (Don't worry this is an old pic my car now has much done to it including Konig 17" Tantrum rims, Bomz Aluminum Wing, Blitz Body Kit, Aerogea

I think the paint would not stick well to the rubber which expands when it's hot. It would also probably form a lot of cracks in the paint right away. I wouldn't paint it...

In respons to 96eclipse2nr sorry I will start checking that from now on... and Ryan_RS yes you can paint the hoses but its almost as cheap and much better looking to get silicon hosing and use that or even a little more expensive but even better is mesh hose wrapping kits... But yes you can paint all hoses except high heat ones like your spark plug wires or your header (even engine temp 1500 degree ceramic paint won't stay on a header I painted mine and it burnt off withing 30 seconds after a started my car and left a massive cloud of smoke) as for stuff like a/c hoses and wire loom and anything staying under 200 degrees even the valve cover can be painted with normal old enamal paint and it will stay on just fine... ( Ive done my whole engine bay that way)...
Also shuwa29 thanks I think I will try the vynil type my only prblem is I wanna do it in light blue and I can't find any vynil paint that color maybe Ill have to order it =( and wait like 3 months...
