I was wondering if there is a paint I can use on plastic. I have two sets of plastic green and grey. Im just trying to make it look a little better without spending 300 on new plastics
painted plastics look like crap after a few rides, dont matter how you do it, it will chip eventually and look like ghetto crap. on the brighter side krylon fusion for plastic works
I love how everybody says painted plastics look like crap. So the orange and black one in my sig looks like crap? We painted that bike almost a year ago and it has seen its share of riding. When we went to Ohio it flipped down a hill and landed up side down.
It's all in the prep work. Use a good primer with a flex agent,4 coats of krylon fusion, and a lot of clear coat. I think we put 7 coats of clear on that one. I painted my kx 2 years ago and it still looks good.
yea i can see if you do it right it will hold but it just seems like to much of a hassle and having to worry about it chippiong or lowering value
Well the orange/black bike looked like chit before we painted it. Materials probably cost 60 bucks and it looks good now. People love that bike and on a few occasions have offered to buy it. People like myself can appreciate custom work and don't want a blaster that looks like any other ones. In this case I believe it raised the value. I think it lowers the price if it's not a good paint job, because the person buying it has to either purchase new plastics or repaint them. Just my .02 from experience.
