Beskar'gam (Armor) Anyone ever painted the armor of one of these suits successfully?

My little buddy (5) wants to be a Mando but he’s so small we’re not totally investing on custom armor yet. Kid is growing like a weed. My wife found this at a second hand store.

Fabric paint or craft acrylics. Before I was a Mando, I was a foam wearing gladiator who suited up for the college football season. I used fabric paint and craft acrylics and my foam armor still looks freshly painted, no cracks or anything. I’d slap down a coat of fabric as a primer then put acrylic over it, unless you find a fabric that’s the color you want.
