yamaha11 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 i think there is an aditive you can add to paint just for plastic Quote
Boo_69 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 I know that krylon has a "flex" paint for plastic. It is suppose to expand and contract with plastic when it heats up and cools. My wife used it on her raptor plastic but it was just a clear coat. looks good though :thumbsup: Quote

Bansh-eman Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 you have to add flex agents to paint for plastics so they dont crack and peel. If your plastics havent been vut it would be worth while to cut them so they dont flex so much Quote
clueless Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Posted October 2, 2008 thanks guys. i'll try that krylon fusion :thumbsup: Quote
Mattchev Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Old post, but picked up a banshee a few months ago in pretty rough shape. cleaned it all up and made it look nice. the plastics were all scratched, faded, scuffed up, etc. They were pretty much at the point of no return. Didnt really feel like spending 200+ dollars on new ones. I've painted plastics before using Krylon Fusion. As long as you prep well and do it the right way, it will last for a very long time. This time I decided to try something different. I got a few cans of bedliner spray (rhino liner), whatever youd like to call it. Did about 3 light coats and it came out awesome. This is very durable stuff. Holds up good and flexible. Cheap way to make the bike look nice and not have to worry about paint chipping. will try to get a pic up Quote
draggins10 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 ^ I've tried the Bedliner spray on my nerf bars and some other small parts. Mud/dirt is impossible to get off Quote
Elev8tedaz Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 I have painted many banshees with a base coat clear coat. I use bulldog adhesion promoter and never have a problem but it is about 20.00 a can Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Quote
