Paint on the Kona One's EVA deck is very worn and I'd like to tidy it up. Any ideas on the type of paint I can use that will stick to EVA? I'm guessing it is screenprinted on at the factory with special inks but any alternatives I can use off the shelf from a hardware/paint shop?

VHT make a dye type paint used for doing car upholstery and it will do vinyl, cloth, some plastics etc.
I'd say it would do EVA but just be careful it doesn't melt it (full of solvents.)

You can get it at auto parts stores like Supercheap / Repco / Coventry's (dunno what chains you have over there?)

Good idea Mark, I know and have seen that product but have not used it. It should be OK coz the "V" in EVA is vinyl, I'll get a can this weekend and have a go in a small section.
