Author Message   Odie Posted on Sunday, October 03, 2004 - 10:38 pm:        I know a few people have dyed their plastic parts but I was wondering if anyone has painted theirs? I do my own paint but it has all been standard bike sheetmetal or flexible bumper covers on cars that require flex additive. I don't think the plastic's on XB's are flexy enough to warrant flex additive......anybody? What paints did you use- lacquer, enamel, new polymers, etc...?   Mookie Posted on Monday, October 04, 2004 - 12:05 am:        I used a krylon on mine. didnt hold up so well but i cant say that i prepared it well enough. I keep meaning to repaint it and it is sanded now but i just havent been able to find the time to do so.   Wyckedflesh Posted on Monday, October 04, 2004 - 01:43 am:        Odie if you check the knowledge vault under paint and bodywork, there is a link for the DuPont page that tells you what products to use for the surlyn.   Odie Posted on Monday, October 04, 2004 - 01:45 am:        Really?! I looked the other day but didn't see anything. I'll look now. Thanks man.....   Odie Posted on Monday, October 04, 2004 - 01:54 am:        Found it! Thanks Wycked- that's exactly what I was after.....now, what color.......   Wyckedflesh Posted on Monday, October 04, 2004 - 01:55 am:        http://www.dupont.com/industrial-polymers/surlyn/sr_coatingguide.pdf For anyone else looking for it...   Misato Posted on Tuesday, October 05, 2004 - 11:49 am:        I used dupont chromabase. it doesn't need a flex agent   Signguyxb12 Posted on Tuesday, October 05, 2004 - 01:22 pm:        odie watch the amount of clear coats to much and it will crack   Odie Posted on Tuesday, October 05, 2004 - 06:23 pm:        Yea, I'm sure with the flexible nature of the pieces. I remember when I was first learning how to paint, more is always better, right?!?! NOT!!! Thanks man.....Odie   Minitrucker Posted on Thursday, October 07, 2004 - 07:22 pm:        I got mine painted...Not too sure what the prep for it was, but i will find out tomorrow. Rodi
