Plastics

Can you paint plastics?
and if you can, what do you use???

[pitmaster]

yes you can,

youll need Plastic Trim Primer (dont use metal primer etc)

painting plastic isnt the easiest, prep needs to be done really well, other wise the paint wont have good adhesion, and flake and scratch real easy,

if not done properly it will look like rubbish!!! even if its done real good it can still look like rubbish lol

but to answer the question Yes it can be painted, but if id actually want it done on a bike thats a whole new question......

Just buy a sticker kit and chuck it on your plastics.

Yes you can paint them, the best thing to use would be a 2 pack auto paint. Should you paint them? No I am with benox and say get a sticker kit or buy new plastics.

Damn a set of plastics can go from anywhere between $20-$40 these days. Unless you not talking about painting non crf style plastics.

yeh u can, i painted the back of mi plastics, not the ones hanging over the fuel tank but the 2 just behind the seat just with a normal spray paint, it looks fine but does chip but i got plenty of it so its easy to just patch it up, if u do it properly it would look better tho. if i was u i would just buy new plastcs or a graphics kit like Ben said.

this guy just used a spray can

[pascal125]

that looks awsome with the blue and white.

Hmm, pretty decent.. I'd much prefer a nice looking sticker kit though over some half assed spray paint job
