imitation docs

[pukestar.livejournal.com]

I have these hunter-green doc-look-alike boots that i want to paint.
they are pleather. actually, more of a rubber/vinyly material..
how do you paint vinyl/pleather/rubber material? i need something thats waterproof, won*t stiffen the pleather too much, and won*t fleck or rub off much.

any suggestions for name brands, paint types, or stores is greatly appreciated. thanks!
