Good stuff Bullfrog....what no ninja shots
I like the way you blacked out the plastic, I am thinking about painting my plastics. The red plastic on my KLR is starting to fade to a pink
I can't have that.
Bryan,
Blacked out plastics are good....pinked out plastics are BAD!!!!
I blacked mine out before they pinked out on me.
The other guy I rode with, blacked his out after they turned pink.
I'm not sure if his prep work or coating application wasn't done right but he is having some problems with the black flaking off. (He might have applied the coats too heavy.)
Perhaps once the plastic gets pink, brittle, and oxidized all hope is lost???
Anyway, I used this stuff:
Available almost everywhere.....
I scuffed up my plastic with green scotchbrites.
Apply numerous light even coats.
I have been VERY happy with the results...
I have ridden through a lot of brush and the coating has held up well.
There are a few chips from tools and rocks, but a black Sharpie conceals those pretty well.
Still not sure about my tank...I'm thinking about getting a HUGE IMS tank...
