I was wondering about possibly painting my black side panels on my 400ex.
They scuff up pretty well, as we all know.
I am putting together my own custom color design and wanted to actually paint the panels a glossy black, with the circle sections colored in.

Anyone do this?
What type of paint is recommended?
Any tips?
Would there be a type of paint to hold up with the scuffing?

If any info...thanks
:devil

Maybe try some of that Back to Black stuff for car bumpers
or Krylon makes that new Fusion paint for plastic but I still dont think that would hold up to well on a quad.

dude, that is one nasty picture, and not at all what I'm talking about.
I was just going to color in the indented circles on the black side panels and wondered what type of paint would be best.
I have some new plastic that is for the new color scheme.
