Already tried it. Didn't hold up. I thought about trying to spray a coat of clear over it but I didn't really like the pin stripe anyways.

problem is made to stick to automotive paint and it doesn't bond as well with the plastic

Im with him on this one

It might stick better to brandnew clean plastic. But anything with any cuts it will peal off within a powerwash or two.

I tried airbrushing my race numbers on my quads hood with some paint that is meant to stick to lexan plastic for RC cars, but that stuff just peeled off, I think maybe a laquer based paint might stick better.
