See if you can find a paint store that has a SEM mixing system. There is one here in Canton Ohio that has helped me out.

Clean the crap put of it with with HOT soap and water, maybe even 409 or simple green first. And use some vinyl adhesion promoter, should be able to find a good aerosol product at your local paint supply.

And when you are done cleaning it, clean it again! If there was ever any Armor All applied, good luck.
