'shee is for me Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 pc racing plastic renew it comes as a kit with sand paper to sand out scratches, the secret sauce that makes it shiny, and fine steel wool to buff it to a shine ... i just did it to my raptor to sell it and it looks brand new!!!

bansheerage Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 well theres a couple different things you can do really. you can paint them with the fusion paint for plastics (walmart or autozone) it works allright but you really have to do it right. if you just want to clean them up of scuffs or old dirt. just use the ever so handy magic eraser. the little son of a bitch cleans plastics very nice. put a little pressure on it and it will take off any dirt or scuffs. other than that you can buy new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo52 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 I guess plastic renew works good, for white plastics some comet power and a brillo pad or such works good, and if all else fails some fusion paint but you gotta do alot of prep to get the fusion to work right. Its held up good on my tank and rad shroud suffered some small gas spills fine only bad part is where the seat rubs and thats a given. My only complaint is I couldnt find some clear coat fusion paint and the finish without clear is kinda rough looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00ultraz28 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 I'm using some home depot paint right now... hella prep and primer... probably not gonna turn out the best but its only temporary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo52 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 SAND SAND SAND, rough grit to light grit, take out all the deep scratches, then make the whole thing in a fine rough stage, enough to hold paint but not too scratchy that it shows through, and clean clean clean especially if you used "armorall" type polishes on your plastic. Prep is the most important part to painting anything (cars, bikes, quads ect.) If you do it right the paint will hold and not flake off. and you need a flexible paint.
