Boo_69 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I know that krylon has a "flex" paint for plastic. It is suppose to expand and contract with plastic when it heats up and cools. My wife used it on her raptor plastic but it was just a clear coat. looks good though :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansh-eman Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 you have to add flex agents to paint for plastics so they dont crack and peel. If your plastics havent been vut it would be worth while to cut them so they dont flex so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattchev Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Old post, but picked up a banshee a few months ago in pretty rough shape. cleaned it all up and made it look nice. the plastics were all scratched, faded, scuffed up, etc. They were pretty much at the point of no return. Didnt really feel like spending 200+ dollars on new ones. I've painted plastics before using Krylon Fusion. As long as you prep well and do it the right way, it will last for a very long time. This time I decided to try something different. I got a few cans of bedliner spray (rhino liner), whatever youd like to call it. Did about 3 light coats and it came out awesome. This is very durable stuff. Holds up good and flexible. Cheap way to make the bike look nice and not have to worry about paint chipping. will try to get a pic up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draggins10 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 ^ I've tried the Bedliner spray on my nerf bars and some other small parts. Mud/dirt is impossible to get off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
