What do you guys recommened to paint your plastics?

 

Sand and prep them and then use 4-5 very light coats of krylon fusion on them, and then a a few coats of clearcoat I guess..

 

u need to make sure the coats are even or the paint will run and look like poop. lol.

 

Fusion does not stick. Very hard to get paint to stick to polyethelene. Its like trying to paint teflon. You can paint it and think its stuck but you can probably scrape it off with a fingernail.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

lol run like poop, thats a good one.

 

Imron sticks to anything and is somwhat flexible....but you gotta wear a respirator or have a scuba tank for a fresh air supply....the stuff is dangerout! Expensive too....

 

Kylon fusion stick great to my fenders... ive been using it for like a year now. i sand with 600 waterproof sandpaper, i sand , wash , dry , paint. 3-5 coats and it looks like a champ. and then wax.
it does chip with rocks. i race and i have to re do them every 4 months. ive never tried to scrape the paint off the fenders but it hasnt flaked off on my fenders yet. you can check them out in my page the fronts are originally blue but i spray painted them black. this is what works for me!

 

I used an automotive acrylic urethane with flex additive for the base coat and the clear coat. Painted my Banshee about 7 years ago and only a few spots have cracked off. Due to excessive flex.

 

Don't put clear coat on Fusion. It will make you plastics look even worse because it takes something away from the paint that makes it not stick. I have painted a set of plastics with fusion and clearcoat and one with just fusion. And believe me. You don't want to use clear on that stuff.

i have seen quads with the paint coming off the fenders and they don't look very good.i would just fork out the cash for a new set
