Spray painting a latex mask?

I bought a gas mask today but it is beige ad I need it to be black. what is the best way to paint or spray this? also If I got a permanent black marker would this work?Spray painting a latex mask?
as the item is latex, i would suggest that you buy paint made for rubber or plastic, rather than use your wall paint which may not adhere. Krylon Fusion for plastic is a possible one and comes in an easy to use spray can.





how to paint:





1. clean the surface real good with a mild detergent, rinse well and dry. make sure that it is completely dry.


2. spray on a thin coat, covering it evenly.


3. let it dry thoroughly and then apply again. applying multiple thin coats of the krylon paint will prevent runs and drips.





I would not use the magic marker as it won't cover uniformly (it will have lighter and darker areas), unless you don't care about this.
