Don't paint it with regular spray paint ,it will chip .
Therese a new paint out maid by Crylon It's called Fusion ,I've painted the front grill on my Ford F150 and the bug deflector this past summer , it still looks like I just painted it yesterday.going on 5 good snow storms later.
It's under $5.00 a can .

 

where could i get that crylon paint at?

 

Im not too sure its the best thing you could do but[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]........you can pick up the Krylon Fusion at probably any Autoparts store or paint store.

 

thanks, but why would painting your plastic look so bad though?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

Wal-mart is where I found it .
It's ment for plastic ,there's an etching compound in it that's helps adhere to the plastic ,the same as the body shops use on plastic bumpers .
It also spreads out to help prevent paint runs .
I don't have the can in front of me, but I remember seeing on it that no sanding was required ,I think it was guaranteed not to chip .Don't hold me to that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

alright, thanks woodsman[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I suggest not to paint your plastic unless you are an expert of spray paint...i have seen oh so many of times when someone gets an idea to custom paint jobs and it ends up lookin like crap...not to mention plastic is probably one of tha harder surfaces to do it on because of easily running on plastic...although if u are handy with tha paint it kould look good...

 

i painted the front and back fender of my dirt bike with a spary gun and some paint that is rust resistant made not for plastic, and it is not chipping.
