dreamrr Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I am considering painting the plastics on my YFZ450 to match my sandrail. Do you think the paint will crack and chip while riding? The wind blows the plastics around and the sand blasts them too. I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money when the paint will only last a few trips to the dunes. Has anyone had any experience with painting plastics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone had any experience with painting plastics? You need to use a plastic adhesion promotor...it will stick but wont last..( I painted for 14 years never got quad pieces to last) unless it just sits on display and is never ridden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b370 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I will have to say that atv plastic CAN be painted and hold up well......... WHEN DONE RIGHT! A few years ago I painted the plastic on my shee.... I rolled the bike down a hill and landed on some hard pack dirt/gravel. It hit so hard that it actually tore the plastic and the paint did NOT peal off. I decided to do a face lift on my shee a few years later and this time painted a set of full bore. That was done in late 2003 and is NOT a trailer queen. second paint scheme back in 1999 Back from a ride in Pa in coal country Link to just after it was finished this last time (sorry to those on 56k) http://www.roostfest.net/old/images/mybans...shed1%20013.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
