Well I finally did it, couldn't take the green anymore. Went to an auto body suply store and the guy gave me everything I needed to paint the plastics with automovie style satin paint. Used some plastic etching primer first then anot her primer then a top coat black (for plastics) then a satin clear coat with flex ajent in it ... took some time but it turned out fairly well

That looks incredible.

 

[Wi_Rider]

Looks nice!

 

[Axo938]

I like it!

 

[MrDwig]

Looks awesome!! I will be doing the same once the weather warms up a lil again except I want to preserve the camo for now so I will be using Plati-Dip. I know someone is going to dog on Plasti-Dip but if it is done right it will hold up to a lot and easy as can be to repair!

 

[TRev]

I was going to do plastidip and know alot of guys who have and it has held up great and even better if you use the right plasti primer with it. I just went to the next level and I do belive I am going to do a plasti dip clear over it for a lil protection

 

[MrDwig]

That's probably not a bad idea at all.

 

[shvlhed69]

was wondering how that would look. I only did my hood, looks sick I know what my next project will be

That turned out awesome. Can't wait for some daytime outside pics.

 

[trailcutter]

did you take all the plastics off to paint them?

 

[TRev]

i did not remove all the plastics i just took out all fasteners and used drape tape to let me roll the edges ... i also taped of the seam in the radiator so under the hood is still green by the battery box ... i havent picked a colour to do the cage and bumpers yet either .... any input? JUST NEED SOME BLOODY DOORS

 

[Roadymi]

I like safety orange to accent black.

 

[MORSNO]

Looks good TRev! I think the clear will help your paint hold up better to brush scratches to.

 

[moto92]

I cant tell from the pics, but did you paint the bed and tailgate too?

 

[Marley]

Now go get it browny with mud...! Looks good.

 

[TRev]

First I had to clean it for hours before I painted it so it's used to being muddy and brown. Second no I didn't paint the bed just pealed the cheesy decals off that say 4x4 and hit it with some drying silicon detail spray ... A wearable clear coat none the less.. Lasts for about half dozen rides and washes

Only warning I have with using plasti dip on the camo is that the camo is a hydro dip and can be pulled off when removing plasti dip. Seen this happen on a brute force

 

[Baknthsdle]

Looks mean, nice job!

 

[Fireman286]

Looks great. I wish black had been a color option.
