Yes you can.
For the rubber they make a flex additive but I have not had much luck with it. It is real hard to keep suspended long enough to apply. They key here is really small batches which make cleaning your gun a pain in the arse

Plastics can all be coated with no issues. The only thing to be careful of is heat curing them. Do not go over 150* and do NOT let it touch any metal

Mix your duracoate 12:1 and don't reduce it. Spray on some scrap to see how you like it. Adjust your hardener to give it more or less gloss
