Im gunna. Paint my plastics and frame and was wondering what i should do to the frame and plastics before i paint them lile how to prep them and also was wondering roughly how many cans of paint i should get how many coats and how often in between and if and how much. Clear coat i should use
 
First off.... How long have you had the blaster and are you completly able to tear down and rebuild without issues? second off painting the quad may be expensive and be ready to use atleast a can on the frame and atleast a can on the plastics. I would always sand or grind off the paint on your frame where it will be in most contact with rubbing and wear and tear(I.E. frame sides and anywhere the paint is exposed to other elements of wear and tear.) sand the frame smooth and start the paint. As far as the plastics go id first clean them with soapy water then do a good coat of paint. Followed closely with some 1000 Grit sandpaper to run down any runs, scratches, dings, etc... followed by more paint but in a lighter coat this time. then sandpaper and another coat until your satisfied. I use a Gas/Oil Resistant Rust-O-leum that protects against high heat.
 
I'm using krylon fusion spray paint on my banshee , the fusion bonds to plastic and metal and has a epoxy based self leveling primer in it . Excellent quality spray paint
