dont paint plastics, always looks like crap and doesnt last more than a ride before it cracks, scratches and shows tru
Spraying plastics isn't optimal but I've had decent luck with Krylon Fusion paint and LOTS of prep work.
I've painted both of my blasters and they turned out decent. My '93 has been painted for a year with several trips to busco beach and lotsa trail riding around here and it's not really scratched or faded.
No paint likes fuel spilled on it but that's the price to be paid to cover your plastics in a color you find more to your liking.
Perhaps you could pick the plastic color you would prefer and then try to trade your current plastic color to someone who has the plastic color you want.

Short of lacking the yamaha stickers, I don't think that looks too ghetto at all...
That's krylon fusion paint over top of blue plastics (just to give you an idea of the coverage when done correctly)
The ATV in my avatar is the yellow I painted.
Like I said, it's not optimal but plastics CAN be painted. They require a lot of prep work and after spray "curing" time...
I have yet to see painted quad plastics that hold up well. they can be done very well in the beggining but if they suffer bumps and scrapes they go to sh*t quick. I heard the plastic is oil impegneted to reduce staining or something?
i have to agree with awk, you can see painted plastics from a mile away, they reflect the light oddly due to the opaque paint and look chintzy
sometimes it is like that with black it gets a purple look. but DAMN civics looks like it was made that way.
