Check out Dupa-color...Not sure on the spelling though.......Check out to see if they have anything on their web-site.......I know they have LOTS of different kinds of spray paint and some of them even change color now!!!!!!!....They should have something for plastis ......................it might come in a two piece kit.........it they don't have it nobody will....Caper................

check out the stealth 07 sportsman 800, the color is kind of a rough black but maybe it will work for you. they cost about 30 bucks.

We used Krylon's fusion paint for plastic on our 160, other than where our boots have rubbed the paint off, it hasn't cracked or peeled. As far as where the scratches are, we just touch it up.

Don't forget to get paint with a flex agent in it for plastic or prime it with a flex agent.
