spray paint and bikes dont mix

[matt6951]

i finished mine tonight i wasnt happy at all with it.. its very weak chips and flakes very easily i touched up all the spots the chipped while i put the plastics back on and and clear coated the **** out of it like 12+ coats.. ill tell you how it holds up more tomarrow after i get some riding in the dirt done.. my guess is ill be buying some new or used plastics, any one got any?

Just spend the money and have it powdercoated. It will look awsome and last a long time!! plus it is stronger than krylon!

[BigThumper33]

I don't think you'll be powdercoating plastic! :p

OH! I read wrong I guess.:D :blah:

i read wrong too, haha i thought it was the frame.. just get Plastic renew.. why do you have to paint it? Sand the heck out of it, and then put a finish on it... Obviously its going to chip when it flexes

What????

You spray painted your plastic????

What did you expect it to look like?

Lets see a pic lol

ive seen plastic with speay on bed liner on it. if you find the right guy to do it he can get it fairly smooth. it don't scratch, chip and it will flex without cracking. They have about any color you can think of also

well actually i painted my 400ex fenders black and they turned out awesome, if u read the back of the can it will say that AFTER 7 DAYS the paint will be chip resistant, not after a couple hours, i painted my bayou 220 a year ago with fusion and it still looks brand new and i rode that thing hard, lol(1st quad)

just clean the plastics and then clear cote em they will shine up:macho
