Status: offline 		I agree with B MAN. I painted a 250 X one night. No prep, just washed dried and painted. Rode it two days later and by the end of the day, almost half the paint was gone.  I tried it again. This time I took a VERY mild paint remover wheel on the end of a drill and just ever so slightly touched my plastic with that. I cleaned it with mineral spirits and let it dry, then painted with several thin coats. It sat in the garage for 7 full days ( as the directions say ) before it was rode again. 18 months later it STILL looks awesome. NO paint has came off. I did the black trim on my Foreman 400 last year the same way ( it had white overspray all over it from a building that was being painted nearby )  and it still looks great as well. The fusion works great, you just have to prep and wait the proper time like the can says.

I agree. You must follow the directions or else you just wasted the $$ on the paint. If you prep. right, it should hold up fine.

Status: offline 		I couldn't say, i used it on my snorkles and have hit them several times with things and it hasn't scratched or chipped off yet.  I also like the spray head alot better than anyother spray paint has.  It doesn't spray in a circle area, instead you spray in a wide flat area like a real paint gun.

Use rubbing alcohol after every thin coat after the coat dries.  It's a really mild paint remover and will just clean the last coat you sprayed and all the over spray off.   Just take your time and don't rush and it will work great.  It's all in the prepping and patience.

Status: offline 		I found that Krylon fusion paint works excellent on plastic. I havent used it on my bike yet but last summer I painted the screens and a few other plastics on my sled and it worked great! The color match was perfect and the process was easy, clean and remove all grease, oil or dirt, let dry, paint several coats, let dry for a week so that the paint could bake and it stood up all winter without a problem. Ive done open water, rode in -30C, rode through brush and not even a scratch.....Do it right and youll be more than satisfied !

I guess a bit of sand gets in there and after riding for 5 hours it works like sand paper. Theres a few other lil spots but for the $20 it was totaly worth it.

Unless you take a knife to it 
And you can find it at a automotive paint distrubtor but it will cost you like $20.00 a can but well worth it !!!!!

Status: offline 		I am so glad that I found this thread, I have my bike torn down, plastics cleaned but didnt use a paint thinner, going to today.  I have black plastics and I am going over them again with the black fusion paint.  So do you just use the clear coat paint after?  I was worried it would look milky when wet? how many coats do yall suggest?  I ride pretty hard and my poor plastics get scratched up good.  I love water, mud and brush doesnt scare me, so what do yall think? how many coats of each?

If you take a heat gun and slowly apply heat to the plastic where it has stretched and discolored, much of the white stretch marks will disappear.

Status: offline 		Do you have any pics? 

The chipping off may be from inproper prep before paint was applied.  How did you prep all the plastics prior to painting?

If you justed used a liquid cleaner, you need to do more along the lines of scuffing the surface up with sandpaper.  The directions don't mention scuffing the surface prior to painting but it is something that should be done.

Here's my side panels that I painted with Krylon a few years back.  The paint has held up extremely well to the twisting the panels go through when being removed.  It looks like it was painted like this from the factory.  I cleaned the surface with mineral spirits and scuffed it up with sandpaper.  It's been so long though that I can't remember what grit I used.  I applied 5 coats of paint adhering to the directions, with 2 coats of Krylon clear.
First completed.


Recent pic.  It's not a very close up pic but you can see it has never chipped, flaked or faded over the years.

When I built CrosbyAngel's Stereo box for her bike, the clear did leave a "milky" finish.

To fix the "milky" problem, simply wax it out.  You don't need a special wax, the wax you use on your vehicles will remove it.

Tammy,

After you get your new plastics, send me the old ones and let me see what I can do to clean them up for you so you will have second set.
