:eek2: Has anyone ever used Krylon Fusion Paint on Maier Plastic??? I prepped the area that I wanted to paint and the paint seems to flake off pretty easily! I tried it on a piece of lexan plexiglass and it showed a good test. Is there a trick to Maier plastics or can't it be painted???:confused:

Seems like I keep running in to you:rolleyes: I have used it on handgaurds and it holds up preety well.I made sure to scuff the area with fine grit sand papper and clean it off with alcohol before painting.A couple of coats held up for 4 or 5 rides then I would touch it up.It will not work around the tank or any areas that come in contact with gas.

Ok well good luck with the flames. Post pics when your done. I would also sugest staying away from plastic that will bend, just so the paint don't chip. I know it's the plastic paint, but I wouldn't trust it.

I tested this paint on an 1/8th inch piece of lexan plexiglass. I bent it until it broke and it still didn't break off. I didn't even prep it or wipe it down with anything to see how good it was before I did my fenders. But after proper prep work it just flaked right off. I wonder if Maier uses some kind of special plastic that won't take to painting???:confused: :confused: :confused:
