ok i got the plastics all painted with the krylon plastic paint and evrerything like that but i can take my finger nail and scratch it off.....i am wondering will a clear coat prevent that from happening and also prevent chipping when i ride?? im dong woods riding and alittle MX so please help me out! or know of something that will help! thanks........

 

I just used Krylon Fusion on my # plates on my CR500 and it doesn't scratch, I didn't use a clear coat either. I've done some heavy woods riding and crashed since, no scratches! It sounds like:
1. You didn't wait long enough between coats and it didn't cure properly
OR
2. You put too many coats on or the coats were too thick.

How did you prep it? I used an alcohol solvent and it worked great.

 

like rubbing alchohol?? i think it did pack it on to soon are u supposed to lightly spread it on there with many coats??? i just sprayed it right on there hard which i dont think is good... and i was kinda humid! so i really dont know help me out thanks

 

i just wet sanded it with 900 grit

 

Yup, you got it on there too thick then and what's underneath didn't have a chance to dry.

 

man that sucks what do u sugest to get it off??? thanks

 

There's a product called ELO, Easy Lift Off that is supposed to remove paint from plastic, but I have used oven cleaner, starting fluid, and carb cleaner also. You could sand all the plastic, but it sounds like it's pretty thick and would just gum up the paper real quick.

 

ok thanks alot i will probably try everything!! LOL

 

Good luck, it's gonna be a lot of work.
