Default Bit of paint/prep help

Hi was wondering how people have prepped the rubber spats that go over the skirts and rear bumper ends that are flexible rubber on classics

Ad also what primer paint has been used as struggling to get 2k paint to bond without cracking off ??

Any ideas suggestions

Thanks

Pretty sure you have to add a rubberising chemical to the paint in order to allow it to flex/expand ect
