Painting plastic question please help?

I have a 2000 model green 300 Honda fourtrax and I want to paint the plastics white. Wondering what kind of plastic paint I need and what Linda prep work needs to be done like if I have to scuff it up or not. Please help

Answer:

Acrylic paints are plastic based and should fuse well with a plastic surface... you could scuff the surface if you wanted to (sand paper should be fine), but it isn't needed. Either way the paint may still be willing to chip off in places if damaged... The best thing to do is to clean the surface, making sure there's no dust or anything else, because any area with something (even microscopic) on it is more likely to chip than an area where the paint can directly touch the surface.
Yes u do have to scuff it up..best advice go to your local hardware store and ask someone in the paint department
