I am working on a few hilts. These are going to be used for actual dueling so I need a painting solution that will last and be durable. I have tried a few basic techniques but nothing gives the quality I want. What I am trying to do is paint the outside of a PVC pipe that I have cut out to go over my hilt (sink tube) I want the last few coats to be a paint called PlastiDip which is a rubber type paint for a good grip. I am having a hard time finding a primer paint that will work. I have cleaned the PVC to get rid of any sediments that was left on it but still cannot get the paint to stick properly. It usually just ends up chipping off and pealing. Any advice from those who have painted PVC for their hilts? Thanks.
