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...?

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.

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.
