Update Your Custom
1) Heat the rubber part with a hair-dryer/heat gun
2) Use a SLIGHTLY watered-down acrylic paint, one of the types specifically formulated for plastic model kits, they have a mild solvent in them that lets them bond to materials better; you want it slightly thin so the paint acts more as a stain that can soak in easier, rather than a paint that lays on the surface
3) Multiple coats, heating the rubber each time
4) DO NOT SPRAY WITH SEALANT; almost everyone knows this part, but in case you weren't aware, sealants tend to make rubber parts tacky and "oily" feeling
Do all that, and you should get a good painted rubber that doesn't flake.
