Is there any places that paint plastics, or should I look into a local body shop or something. I wanna get my hood and gas tank cover painted.

Painting isn't really that hard. I painted an entire Bronco II in my garage in a weekend. It really looked pretty good. There were a few spots here and there but it didn't cost me anything. If you don't have access to a good sprayer, (should be able to get one for 50 bucks or so that will do fine) then I would suggest trying a street motorcycle shop. If they don't do that type of work, they may be able to suggest a shop that would. Lets face it, most parts on a quad a small which would mean some shops may not want to mess with them. (which could also raise the question of price and making it worth it to you)

One final question would be why paint it at all? More than likely it would scratch and look worse in a short amount of time. Just some things to consider.

If you're going to paint them youself, research about painting plastics. Look up on some airbrush sites about prepping plastics for paint. They need to be sanded, then have an adhesion promoter applied. Think of it as a primer for plastics. Then paints that are made for plastics should be used because of the flex. At least you're sticking ot the hood and tank, which don't flap around. Then a good clear for plastics on top.
