Questions on repainting old armor

[ptrinidad]

How would one repaint an already painted EVA foam armor? The armor has a layer of plasti-dip along with two layers of spray paint. Would you spray over the entire thing with plasti-dip and then spray paint normally?

If it is not exhibiting significant cracking ir creasing in the existing paint job, you do not need to put down a new layer of plastidip. You should be able to just spray the new colors directly on top of the old paint job.
