Title: Paint Question
Post by: Tigger_rider on September 12, 2011, 12:40:08 AM

Hi All Looks like paint time this winter. Tank decals blistered and peeling. Anyone know what kinds of paint to use on the plastic tank without melting it? Having to pick between Caspian bluish and BRG. Got some old style Triumph decals and the leaping tiger a friend says he can duplicate with his airbrush. OLY

PS Which is faster....Blue, stock silver or BRG???????

any goodquality automotive paint (Dupont) will work , it just needs the same additive that body shops use to paint plastic bumpers .I believe it's called FLEX

p.s. everyone knows BLACK is fastest

Gloss is the speed paint.

Flat is the anti-theft paint.
