Paint/boat trailer advice - UPDATE

My fenders/side steps on my bass boat are made of plastic (sturdy as hell, so no problem there) but they're starting to look a little "road weary". I'm thinking of painting them but need some info before I do.
My initial thought was to paint them with bedliner paint bc I know it's very durable but I'm not sure if it will be flexible enough when I step on the side steps to get in and out of the boat. The other option was Plasti Dip bc I know it's flexible but I'm not sure if it will be durable enough. Option 3 was to buy some of the 'Wipe New' that's made for the exterior plastic & rubber on your vehicles. Option 4 is to buy a new boat & trailer.
Whacha got boat baws?
UPDATE - OK I went with the Wipe New stuff since I've used it before and had success with it. Fenders/side steps look almost new but obviously I don't know how long they'll look this way....not bad for $14

Bed liner is very flexible. Just dewax before applying.

Thanks.....I've never used it, I just didn't know if it was flexible enough. I don't wax the fenders anyway so that's not a problem; I'll probably lightly sand just to make sure it's rough enough.

Clearly this is the correct answer

rustoleum makes spray paint designed just for painting plastic so its flexible, just get that and you are done
