I have a 87 Polaris cyclone, i just got new, used, fenders that are white. there in good shape but i want to paint them! should i? and if i do with what, spray, airbrush, etc...? get back to me!

 

PLEA$URE,
If there is a paint or method of application that will adhere to plastic, I haven't heard of it. My suggestion would be to look at some of the adhesive graphics that are available and go that route. Some of them are quite large and would break up a lot of the plain white background

Regular paint will crack on plastic when the plastic moves....then it just looks terrible...alot worse than white plastic would.

 

well, there is a paint that will stick to plastic...its car paint...i am gettin my banshee paintin now and my buddies all have theirs painted for about 6yrs now...the guy who is paintin mine said he puts flex additive in the primer and paint...that way it wont crack but if u ride woods or mud and stuff i wouldnt paint it but B370 from chat painted his and he rides everything...woods, dunes, u name it! and his paint seems to be holdin up wuite nicely

 

blue banshee is correct I do body work for a living and automotive pait will work. Providing you know what you are doing. The part has to be well sanded and an addhision promoter mixed in as well as a flex additive. The same way the plastic bumper covers are painted on a car(or the fenders doors and quarters on a saturn). But like i said you need to know what your doing or pay someone else to do it. just my two cents.

Use water colors. They are real quality there. I would suggest air brush. remember, all good folkes paint with even strokes.

Evan,
Please adhere to ATV Connection Forum guidelines regarding embedded graphics/gimmicks. They take up too much bandwidth.
