Bennett131 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Don't paint your plastic if you're going to trail ride it. It will look horrible. Especially don't use spray paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red96shee Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 He'll yeah glob a bunch of house paint on there with a paint brush sounds like a winner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett131 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 What type of paint will be the bestestIf your plastic is that ugly just buy new plastic. It's obvious you're going to go ahead and fuck this up. Automotive paint would be the best option, but I still wouldn't drive my truck at high speeds through the woods, only to get chips and scratches all over it. Plus for the cost of said paint, you may as well buy some nice plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett131 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 You could try plasti dip...but I personally dislike that stuff to the max. Some people have had luck with it though. I would actually go ahead and rattle can it though, so when it looks like a hammered bag of dog shit you aren't out a bunch of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epod Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) i have had 2 bikes powder coated and i found it very brittel i was trial riding and it was always chipping found it hard to touch up.these days i paint the frames that way i will always have the same colour to touch up after a little sanding.If you were to try touching up the powder coat you would have to build the level of the chip to the level of the powder in order for it to look smoth if you get what i mean.I still have one of the bikes i had powder coated but it says the file is to big to upload but i will try agian in the morning if that is any help to you Edited November 17, 2014 by epod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
