Get a big gallon of lime-green latex paint, yes, latex paint, a 8 inch paint roller and a 3 inch foam brush.

Uh huh. good luck.

You need a type of paint with a flex agent in it so it won't flake off when the plastic flexes.Talk to the automotive shops as they use this type of paint on the flexible bumper parts on cars.

Krylon Fusion. You can get this paint from just about any store, like a walmart. I have heard it works well.

It's almost impossible to paint atv plastic and get it to stay on for more then 1 ride due to the massive amount of flexing the plastic takes. it just isnt worth the aggravation. Better off buying new plastic![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Ummmmm, That what the krylon fusion paint is made for and it works! I saw it on TV and they painted a piece of plastic and bent it all over and it didn't chip off..... Like I said it works.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
