i was woundering if anybody has painted their plastic themsleves. I wounder how well that Krylon Fusion plastic paint would work. I was just thinkin it would be cool to paint mine black but would like to hear wat works good.

 

yea i want to paint my warrior black, rather than spend 300 dollars on new plastics...

 

it will look awesome till you flip it or the fenders hit a tree or branch or something and scrape off allll the paint. it happened to a kid i know

edit: idk about the krylon fusion though. the plastic on a quad if MUCH more flimsy than any other normal plastic thing so i would assume it wont work either

 

My friend has used krylon fusion on his blaster and hes been riding tight woods and such for about 6 months now and it still looks pretty good.

 

ok after a bit of research on the painting of plastic atv fenders my studies have turned up some nice info:

"You could paint it, but it won't last. You see, the fenders are made of polyethylene. It's almost impossible to get a good bond to polyethylene (which is why they mold the color into the plastic). They purposely make the parts with polyethylene because you don't want anything (like mud) to stick. Bottom line..."

also i found some people who tryed to paint their plastic with that krylon fusion crap, here is a post to what happend because apparently i cant use the word (a t v t i m e) when posting:"Ive tryed to repaint the plastics on our 95 Blaster. I purchased the new plastic paint from Krlon.I preped the areas as directed and The job came out perfect . Very glassy, no runs or orange peel. After riding and getting the bike really muddy for the day, I came home and washed all the mud off.
I had spots all over the plastic , where the mud actually ate the paint off. I contacted the Krylon paint corp , and they said the plastic on the blaster might have caused a chemical reaction. "


i think buying new plastics are what is needed when trying to bring out that good looking quad that you have.

 

yea im not going to pay that money for new plastics when i really dont care if my ATV stays yellow. i like it now but was just thinkin if there was something that works pretty good out htere id like to try it out. I think my z would look pretty sweet in black.

 

yea tha z would look wicked in balck, i wish i could paint my warrior black
