Painting ATV plastics Krylon?

Im going to paint my plastics soon and i want to use the Krylon fusion paint. Is this a good paint for this? Does it hold up good? How should i prep the plastics?

Answer:

Krylon sticks pretty well to plastics, but it can peel if you get a chip or scratch in it. Make sure it cures for a day or two before riding. The plastic flexing can make paint crack. The longer it has to cure the better it will stick. A trick is to paint all surfaces of the part. This way there is no edge to the paint that can peel more easily. Compound out any scratches (Rubbing compound, do not use anything really abrasive like sand paper) and clean the surface with a good cleaner that doesn't leave residue. (Dish washing liquids work well. Use plenty of water.)
