    My painting job...

    I'm a really messy dude when it comes to paint and I'm not very patient either. I tried my best and my tank turned out as good as I can expect for my skill level. The plastic pieces turned out horrible again (not the first time I've painted them). I really need to find a better paint for painting plastic.

    Tank looks pretty good. Not sure why you are stacking the tank on the covers?

    Did you clear coat it yet, cause the tank is nice an shiney.

        you can use almost any paint for plastic, as long as you have th eproper prep and adhesion promoter.

          look for a product called "bulldog" . reprime those plastics, wetsant, follow bulldogs process, and base and clear... tank looks good tho.

            What type of paint are you using? What is happening when you paint the plastics? You can use an adhesion promoter like bulldog like someone else suggested for the plastics. I painted my side covers without using an adhesion promoter and had no problems. If you prime before painting there should not be any issues if the parts were prepped correctly before prime.

              Krylon makes paint specifically for plastic. I used it recently on a dirtbike I am working. It works great.
