ginger Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheerage Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxlongshotxX Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
