F.T.W. Banshee Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 As far as the paint goes you can use the krylon paint. I have never done it but there some guys on here that have and it turned out pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitey917 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 The black tank and rad cover on my quad are painted with krylon fusion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandaholic-stalik Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) I was reading up on a few different sites about painting, and overall it sounds like the Krylon was the best. The one thing I did get from all the posts was, clean, clean, clean, sand, sand, sand, clean, clean, clean! Prep the hell out of it! This guy rides the trails, and said he has very good luck. He also had said that the Krylon Fusion didn't work as well as the plain old Krylon? How is the fusion holding up for you?

Frogger Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm getting ready to paint my plastics. The paint shop that I bought my paint from said exactly what's been said, clean clean clean. Also I was told to buy an adhesion promoter to put down before the paint. Just my findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdust Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 not trying to be negative ned but i tryed painting my plastics and everything went good except the rear fenders. everytime i would hit them with my boot they would scratch and if they bent the paint would come off. BUT im not a painter so i prolly did it wrong. the front was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinindustries Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) One thing to watch out for when useing krlon fusion is it will run. The can has like a differnet tip then most cans. So it comes out in a like 3 inch strip. just take your time and use many coats. i used 4 on mine. and i had some runs but nothing noticable. Mine turned out pretty good i think. (middle of fixing it thats why the clutch cover is off) Edited April 3, 2009 by skinindustries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magz Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 i did mine, i washed 3 times, used some gas twice, then immediently power washed, then used 300 grit sand paper for about 4 hours. then took another 4 hours with some 600 grit sand paper, thena bout another 2 hours spot hitting with some 1000 grit. then washed again and hit it with more 1000 grit then put 2 cans of plastic adhesion promoter on, then put 5 real light coat of paint on each peice then finished them of with a nice coat. no runs, they look great, havent had any problems at all, i scuffed one with my foot jacking around, it just discolored the top coat a little, but i took it off, hit it with some 1000grit and re spot painted that rear plastic, total time maybe 15 minutes to redo the fender at the end of the day , put it back on the next and has been fine every since. picture on bottom right i used krylon fusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman81 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 i did mine, i washed 3 times, used some gas twice, then immediently power washed, then used 300 grit sand paper for about 4 hours. then took another 4 hours with some 600 grit sand paper, thena bout another 2 hours spot hitting with some 1000 grit. then washed again and hit it with more 1000 grit x2. If you have a run problem like skinindustries did you could always change the tip. Graffiti artist do all the time for different styles. You can order some from here http://artprimo.com/catalog/index.php or local hardware store might have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
