i agree mdebuck im gonna have to get new plastics eventually but for right now i wanna give the bike a touchup

 

OK guys 25 years of automotive painting here. First it must be sanded (plastics) with very fine grit paper. If you start getting fuzzies the paper is to gritty. I suggest 600 then 1200 wet for sanding plastics.You don't have to take all the paint off just feather out the scatches. Then you must and I mean must use a plastic adhesion promoter before painting.It sprays clear but it makes sure the new paint will stick and will not crack if bent.

 

awsome thanks man

 

I forgot to add if you want to change color spray a sealer over the adhesion promoter. Perferably tinted to the color you want.

 

I went to an auto painting seminar last week for work, and they displayed new gloss primers with flex additives that can be rolled on. I was skeptical until they painted a beach ball and the paint flowed smooth with no lines and did not crack as we bounced it around the garage.
It dries slow enough to blend into a seamless finish. Obviously you would have to fine sand if you were going to cover it with an Auto Urethane. I have had reasonable success with fusion and a plastic paint prep, but still had some chips and flakes. I believe it was a PPG product demonstrated, but there are others. Check it out at an auto paint store. It will not be as cheap as a can of fusion though!

I may try it soon out of boredom and the willingness to experiment. If so, I will post pictures.

 

ya ive heard good things about Kryon Fusion so im gonna try it
