im thinking about custom painting my plastics like a blue color... would i just sand... prime and paint with a clear... or would there be more involved.. i never painted plastic before...

 

Probably want to use all Krylon for plastic paint. But i think its the same principal. Maybe not a clear though becuase then itll show scratches easier.

 

You'll need to sand and prep the plastic really good. You will also need an adhesive promoter and a flex agent when painting plastic. Heres mine after painting it.

 

yea that is why i wanna repaint mine... after seeing pictures of yours.. that is sick.. i wanna do mine blue... how much did it cost in materials and where can i get them..
any other tips feel free to let me in on them

 

Since we are talking good paint for plastics. I would like to paint my ROTOPAX gas tanks Black to match my bike color. Obviously I can't sand them etc. What canned spray paint is more desirable? Would it also be the Krylon?

Thanks,

R'

 

prep the plastic real good, sand if you want to and use Krylon Fusion to paint them, theres a few others you can use but i cant member the names.

 

I can't remember what all the materials cost but it seemed like it was a around $200. You can go to your local automotive paint store and ask them for some bulldog adhesive promoter and it you get the right one it will also have flex agent in it. They should have all the stuff there to paint your plastic.
