Dirty Sanchez Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Just like anything else, you get what you put into it. I painted my plastic the first time and it looked ok. i ended up wet sanding it and painting it again because the white showed every little bump or imperfection that was in it. After the wet sand with 600 and wiped it down with rubbing alcohol. it turned out pretty good. I let the plastic pieces sit in the spare bedroom for about a week before i put it on. The hunter green I used on the tank pieces turned out really well. Use slow even coats or it comes out looking like shit. The over spray is a killer with that stuff. thats my .02 Quote
skinindustries Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 what colors are the best? my plastics are grey and blue i wanna re-paint or buy new ones my frame is black i just painted that im not goin for anything all show and stuff just want it to look nice on the trails what color do you guys suggest? like what color woud cover grey and blue really good and not show all those imperfections of a branch smack and stuff like that Quote
Dirty Sanchez Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 The darker the color the better the coverage. I made several passes with white to cover mine. grey and blue is what i started with also. Make sure you try to make the scratches and big dings as smooth as possible by wet sanding. Quote
skinindustries Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 ok i was goin to go black and put graphics over them is that a good idea? how well do the graphics stick to the paint? i dont want to waste my money if they are just goin to fall off or start to peel after a week Quote
T_Shee Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 ive used it before with mild success. as was said before its all about the prep work. sanding and cleaning should take about 75% of your time. a tiny bit of oil on your plastic and you will get a run from hell. my best success was when i did my 250r fronts and i prepped them a bunch, did about 3 or 4 coats with white letting them dry in between. then several coats of clear coat (really lightly or it will mix with the paint and make it run) letting it dry in between. it held up to a lot of mud and power washing. i half assed the rears cuz i was planning on replacing and it held up pretty shittly like you would expect Quote
Bansheeb0y5505 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I did mine with fusion. No clear coat or anything. It feels like it would scratch off easy but it looks decent and flex's without chipping. Quote
