Charley,
I would suggest you use the "high heat" or engine wrinkle paint. When
completely dry, it is hard as nail. Granted, it will scuff because it
becomes so brittle but it is mouch more durable than the regular wrinkle.
When using this paint, the thicker it is, the bigger the wrinkles, and
it will wrinkle more if no primer is used.
Not a bad idea, but installing vinyl is not that difficult.
I used Scotch 3M "90" aerosol, it's about $10. a can, but good stuff.
Spray the post and the vinyl, stick 'em together.
Fold the vinyl over the w/s frame so the sealing rubber covers it when
the glass is installed. Fold the other side over the outside of the
frame, the weather strip will cover it.
IMHO, I think you would like the vinyl better.
Best Regards,
Tony R.
