What Meaner said!

Have a buddy that had a natural one and tried having it painted. . . paint didn't last.

I did all that with even a plastic primer and as soon as it was out in the sun the fumes just started to bubble it. Its like the dirt bikes graphics. Ever notice how they have the holes in them well its to let the fumes out.
