ginger Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 i have a feeling though, if you ride in the woods or pressure wash it, i cant see it holding up. Quote
S10RACER Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Posted March 16, 2012 i have a feeling though, if you ride in the woods or pressure wash it, i cant see it holding up. We will see i guess just trying to avoid spending 500 on new plastics Quote
ginger Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 We tried similar thing with my buddies blaster with VHT plastic paint, and it got all chipped up from rocks and shit. good luck though Quote
rjdgriff Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 I painted mine and have had no trouble with it... I'm in trails, ditches, creeks, and gravel all the time riding. Plus I rolled it a cpl weeks ago and everything is holding up nicely... Quote

bansheerage Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 S10RACER did you use a flex primer? I did on my tank plastics after sanding and what not. it held pretty good for a year and a half. some paint is chipping now. maybee I didnt use enough clear coat not sure. hope you have better luck Quote
XxlongshotxX Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 I sanded mine and sprayed bullydog adhesive before painting. going on its third summer and still holding up. It's starting to get dull now, thinking about having jd aquafuse platic really soon. Quote
