I doubt that any paint will stay on a super-flexible surface if you flex it
very much. But I often use Rust-Oleum "Universal Bonding Primer" before
top-coating on unusual surfaces. For instance, it will reliably adhere to
galvanized metal, which most paints will not. Some hardware stores carry
it, but you may have to place a special order, or get it online.

I have spray painted plastic containers. Best technique is to set up a
spray booth with large opened corrugated cardboard box shielding three
sides. Container to be sprayed is inverted on an upside down bucket -
that's for convenience to get the to-be-sprayed containers up off the
ground. Spray first with a primer for better adhesion, then color for
second and third coats. Goes very quickly. Just choose a calm, not
breezy day.

Spray the containers white and that should alleviate the over-heating /
getting too dry issues. Won't eliminate, but should help.

Judy in New Jersey where it is snowing. Forecast has changed from
"ending by 9:00 a.m." to "over by 3:00 p.m."
