Krylon makes a plastic paint. It's spray on and specially formulated to work with plastics. I would say give it a try, because it's a plastic paint, it's really going to bond and not chip.

RE:
I am looking for paint that I can use on flexible plastic tubing that won't peel or crack. Any ideas?

Lumiere or Neopaque paints (thin-bodied acrylic paints, metallic and non-metallic) or Genesis paints could work since they've been used successfully on "buna" rubbery cording.
Genesis is a heat-set oil paint though so it needs to be baked to cure it, and that could shrink the tubing, so try it out first with a small piece, and also make the tube longer than you'll need in case it does shrink.
Lumiere and Neopaque don't need to be heated unless they'll be washed or exposed to a lot of water.
You could also try regular acrylic paints especially if you roughen the surface first to provide more tooth for the (vinyl)paint to stick to... and it's possible that using a "texile medium" in it would make it even more flexible and strong?
If you don't mind the color being transparent, you can also dye plastic tubing and fishing line, etc., with Rit dye (possibly adding vinegar) or even with Kool Aid though that would be less fade resistant. If you want to read a bit more about that option, check here:

You're going to need a paint that embeds itself into the plastic. Those are specialty paints, and won't come cheap as they need to be flexible. Might want to call a couple of auto body shops, they paint plastic. Or a metal fabricator, sometimes they paint plastic, too.

How about fabric? You could make a tube and slip it on.
