The old Dare hand grips? Plasti-Kote (spelling?) can be used on plastic. Don't know if it would hold up well on grips...paint would give you a very thin coating over an area that gets alot of use. I do remember in shop class using vynl to make things. You would dip things into a vat of this stuff and then heat it until it solidified. "Creepy Crawlers" were you poured the liquid into a mould and then heated it to make rubbery "creepy crawlers" was a similar idea. Just "thinking out loud" on the keyboard here, but a vynl coating over the original grips...if feasible...would probably hold up better. You would most likely lose any writing and details embossed on the grips, however.
