    Painting plaistic

    Anyone ever taken a colored hood and paint it a different color ? Will the paint stay on or is there procedure that has to be taken for it to work ? I was thinking maybe using Krylon paint it is made for painting plastic. Any thoughts or comments.

    unless you know how to paint plastic properly, dont do it. i tried it and the paint chipped. i said f it, i took to eatrl schieb, 230 and they did a good job, not the best. they didnt clear coat it, which i thnk they should of. i dune ride all the time and the paint has not scrapped off... till i did some trail riding. only time it chipped was when was bombared by rocks, and only got 3 chips, but from the there the pant came off.

    I had a body shop for a long time never found anything that works good if it is going to get flexed much.

    I had my plastics painted one time and will never do it again . If you do anything but play in the sand it doesn't hold up to flexing if you rub against anything .

    I have asked around about getting mine painted and was told by many that it wasn't going to hold up out on the trails.

    I have seen many people that had there plastic painted and it looked great but they only went in the sand.

    I've seen several guys color and black out their machines by painting the plastics with bedliner. When it gets scraped off, they just touch it up.
