Painting plastics?!?!?!

[bfletcher]

Being that I'm a dyi kinda guy, I would love to learn how to paint plastics. I realize that anyone offering any info on the subject would be greatly offended, due to the thousands of dollars they have spent learning the process, but I'm a red-neck ratard that likes to get something for nothing. If you are willing to give out some "free" info on the process, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!!![up]

krylon fusion paint for plastic works great you dont need to prime either. I just painted my wifes blast with a silver thats a hammered finish it looks pretty sweet

before you paint see if anybody wants to trade plastics with you....

(like me for example...if you have yellow plastics i'd love to trade you my blue ones!)

 

[bfletcher]

I have black CR plastics. I will trade you all the interchangeable parts if you are interested?

I have Blue as well and was wanting to trade someone, but everyone who sees the bike thinks the blue looks awesome. And last weekend I bought a new Zox helmet and blue mirror visor to match. Guess i'll keep it blue.
