1st Attempt at painting plastics

The krylon fusion paint is great stuff . They have a blue called " Patriot " Blue that is damn near identical to Yamaha Blue . My old blaster had the shittiest plastics . The Original blue had been covered with : White , Yellow , Green , Red , Yellow and finally Black .

It was a GD mess . Use plastic stripper , sanded from 180 to 2000 ( wet ) then used the fusion , and a flat clear and they looked Good !!!

I'm using the Fusion matte black on my shee , it's almost done.

ive used that spray paint without any prep and it came out fine so im sure with prep it looks real good. sure i would love some new plastics but im more concerned about the engine :headbang: heres mine with the blue. a very cheap alternative to buying different color plastics

I know it's been a while since I got these done, but I finally put them on for recent trip to Silver Lake and figured I'd share.  They held up pretty well considering I fliped the bike bakwards 3x.  Spilled some gas on them also and the paint held up fine.
