Default Painting Plastic?

Is there any good paint to use in a spray bomb?

KRYLON PLASTIC SPRAY.

It's got a plastic bonding agent that works pretty good. BUT.... ATV plastic - fenders - is tricky stuff. LOTS of additives that prevent painting w/o bubbling & pealing off.

I had to sand (vigorously) and wipe w/rubbing alcohol before I used it as a primer before I painted (not Krylon - custom made paint) my front bumper on my TRV last fall. It's held up well in the past 400 miles.

My buddy spent like 400$ on having his polaris painted by pro's and it looked awsome but did not last it's a shame because now it's peeling and his atv was black before so it shows lots. I wouldn't recommend it bud.
