REpainting fenders

My old rear fender had a large crack on it, whoever had it before me wire tied it, lol i bought a used fender has some scratches on it, im sanding it a bit with i think 800 grit. should i wet sand aswell? whats the best paint for plastic? should i primer?

the best paint ive found is krylon fusion

so what i did is, wet sanded with 1000 grit, primer with some white junk that looks like snow, then wet sanded again, painted with kyrlon, looks good but will do anbother coat, just wanted it to look half decent!

Find a good clear coat!

I agree with Bot about the clear coat...or its gonna have a dull finish and not really look like plastics do.

I would just order new plastics they are not that much

They are a heck of a lot more than a few cans of paint and some sand paper.

Yeah...I agree.. If you dont have the cash, the paint is a quick fix till you do.

I agree that it cost more, but in the long run he will be more statisfied with it.

ive bought enough stuff for my quad already im not going for best in show. it looks fine now, but i may get some clear coat. then i'd have to redo the front fender haha.

You could always try E-Bay...

If you put a few coats of clear on it, when you scratch them it scratches the clear coat not the paint.

good idea.

The paints still going to come off even with the clear coat...I know from experience.

If you take a chunk out of the fender then yeah. When I painted my old bike, we put about 5 coats of clear. I scratched the clear plenty but I never scratched the paint.

for a added touch spray some glow in the dark paint on it, looks cool at knight:yes:

This is a family site. That comment was borderline. I took care of it.

also...getting new plastics look great for the first couple of rides....once you run into a tree or flip or something you're back to the beginning iwth scratched plastics...I like the painting idea...

wtg fellow mods :)

Thanks bot.

I was feeling for the ladies. They don't want to see that.

Doesnt bother me much...I just think it was a little borderline like you said.
