Inflatable bottom paint

I have been using Micron on the fiberglass bottom portion of my RIB. I would like to know if anyone has a recommendation for a bottom paint that could be used on the rubber portion of the bottom. I had been using an antifouling wax that worked pretty well, but I am out of the wax and can't find it sold anymore. looking for a paint to use and ideas how to prep the rubber surface that was previously waxed, so that the new paint will adhere.

BTW, I leave my RIB in the water all season, and tow it--it does not go on deck.

thinking of a Petit or MDR product. any experience with these?

Thanks.
