I would advise against simply spray painting it, more goes into it than that. I would call a pro to do it or just put pink accessories on it like take off the grab bar, grill guard, frame, handle bars, and like the shocks and get them powder coated pink but just dont run out there and spray paint it.

Default Paint or replace,.... your choice

I have painted plastics myself, and i've had some painted by a body shop. Both hold up well for what it is,.... paint. The really nicely done body shop work is the stuff they paint the fl;exible bumpers with,.... still cracks, as these plastics flex more than one would expect sometimes.... The machines vibrate a bunch and cause even more cracking,.... It still look sgood after almost 3 years, but has a few damages and cracks....

The one I painted myself,... doesn't like the fuel spills. It just softens the paint and discolors it a little, to harden back up with a stain later. It's not the krylon fusion stuff, but something similar. It wa designed to paint plastic patio furniture and stuff like that. Molecular bonding stuff..... it doesn't crack at all. But rubs off on things (other plastics and kids shoes when you have to do a slow ride with a youngster)

I have watched, and still watch ebay for plastics that are used and in good or even decent condition, but you can only find the factory available colors, and most times there's one or two pieces that aren't there or don't match just right..... No deal.

I haven't seen any aftermarket plastics for the wolverine at all. I have looked too. I was planning on buying one in fair shape for my wife, and doing a color conversion too. No dice.

Good luck with your quest though. Let us know how it turns out. You can always just buy and install a pink power band......

Default Any Luck on new plastic

Other than oem is there any new info on some making new plastic, mines thrashed and cracked. ( Giant crack stick through fender the second day i had it... way to BREAK it in). I now there are places that you can get plastic "dipped" in any graphic or color just seen a company that does it at a local "Home Show"
