I painted my sons Yamaha Warrior after some extensive high rpm, fine grit sand paper with the new plastic Krylon paint. He has riden it several times since then. And not only did it turn out very nice, it also has maintained a shine with no chipping. I highly recommend the paint, but follow the directions.

I painted all the plastic. It was originally blue, now its metallic black. I used a pnuematic sander with 600 grit paper. Then cleaned entire parts with alcohol. Let it dry completly, then painted. Its beautiful.

well these fenders where also done with fusion. It's all about prep work if you do good prep the paint will hold and shine.

You have to treat the plastic before you can paint it to get rid of all the oils, and then you have to apply an Adhesive promotor before painting.

Sanding it wount help it stick properly.
