Probably some better stuff out there but we used Krylon Fusion plastic paint on my son's pontoon console and it's held up.But there's not a lot of flexing like atvs go through.

Painting ATV plastic is not a good idea.

I've read many stories of people using Krylon Fusion and it holding up well, even when painting it a totally different color. My brother is going to try it on his Moto4 .

I wouldn't paint atv plastics, doesn't hold up well. Try stickers or new plastics. its more expensive but holds up much better and is well worth the extra money.

I used the kylon fusion plastic paint and it works okay. It holds up with brush and dirt, but trees and any other hard objects it will chip. All depends on how well you prep for paint.
