I'm geeting ready to paint my bros bike and we were wondering if you just use normal paint or since it's plastic do you use a special plastic paint since plastic flexes. Cuz when you put the tail faring on you really have to bend it to get it on.

 

They make a product called flex additive for your basecoat if you are using a basecoat/clearcoat system.

 

Wasn't necessary on mine. Tail is a pain and you have to bend the **** outta it to get it on but no cracking at all. From my searching around it seems the flex-additive is really for really flimsy plastics like the bumpers on cars. Our plastics are firm by comparison.

 

Thanks for the input.
