Default What paint will stick?

To the molded plastics on the sportsman?
I would like to pretty up my quad but can't find a paint that will stick.
Any help would be great!!

Try the Krylon Fusion..Its made for plastic. I used it on the faded chinese kids quad and it still look good after a year.

I used automotive paint basecoat clearcoat. You will need a flex agent for the paint and will need to also use an adhesive promoter.

rustoleam makes some paint that is "sposed" to stick to all plastics. Also I was thinking of that spray on rubber sound deadning stuff. Thats real sticky!

Rough up the surface with fine grit sandpaper before painting, it will help the paint stick to the plastic.

id say if you want it to look good for awhile. if bring it some where to get prep and painted. so they can do it right like car bumpers and what not.
