Probably want to use all Krylon for plastic paint. But i think its the same principal. Maybe not a clear though becuase then itll show scratches easier.

You'll need to sand and prep the plastic really good. You will also need an adhesive promoter and a flex agent when painting plastic. Heres mine after painting it.

Since we are talking good paint for plastics. I would like to paint my ROTOPAX gas tanks Black to match my bike color. Obviously I can't sand them etc. What canned spray paint is more desirable? Would it also be the Krylon?

Thanks,

R'

prep the plastic real good, sand if you want to and use Krylon Fusion to paint them, theres a few others you can use but i cant member the names.

I can't remember what all the materials cost but it seemed like it was a around $200. You can go to your local automotive paint store and ask them for some bulldog adhesive promoter and it you get the right one it will also have flex agent in it. They should have all the stuff there to paint your plastic.
