T_Shee Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 well i just recently finished painting my plastics and would like some decals to give her some more character. ive looked on ebay and most of what i find are complete graphic kits which i dont like. im just looking for something more simple and somewhat stock looking. i know some of you can make stickers so let me know what you got. i do a lot of trail riding so shee gets pretty dirty and power washed a lot so i need them to be really tough. travis Quote
michigan_soler Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 sorry to thread jack, but what did you use to paint them... im rockin yellow and purple, i want to change some... Quote
T_Shee Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Posted November 14, 2008 i was rockin purple and yellow too i actually used some stuff that i painted my frame and everything with called rust seal from kbs paints. the stuff is really tough and it is pretty flexible. if had it out in the mud twice and pressure washed both times and not a chip or crack, check it out http://www.kbs-coatings.com/. this stuff isnt meant for plastic but i was just messing around and put some on another plastic piece i had from another quad. i was amazed at how smooth it layed down and then i bent it as much as i could by hand and i couldnt hurt it. it is amazing paint for all types of metal too Quote
michigan_soler Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 sweet. i'll look into it. i was thinking about using krylon fusion (that plastic stuff) Quote
bansheesickness Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 sweet. i'll look into it. i was thinking about using krylon fusion (that plastic stuff) i tried that krylon fusion before and it looked ok, but anything that rubs the paint or if you get hit by some small pebbels or somthing it will chip. but it is flexible and the paint never cracked.

T_Shee Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Posted November 15, 2008 ive had quite a bit of experience with fusion. the only way to do it is go back with the same color because it is almost guarenteed to chip unless you ride in sand or where theres no mud. i did my trx250r fronts to the best of my ability with the same color then i cleared over that really heavy and they actually held up for a while. then i rode in some heavy mud and the extra weight cuased an ass load of cracks. i did a half ass job on the rear and the crap pressure washed right off. the only thing good about it is there are a lot of colors to choose from but thats it imo Quote
