thanks but im meaning the plastic chromelike parts under the bars

[kramnala58]

Why paint them? I believe that there are aftermarket ones out there in various colors to match almost any PCX.

Krylon Fusion for plastics? or similar product? Rough it up, & spray?

[mikelx5]

would it still adhere im kinda debating on vinyl wrap now

[dasshreddar]

I just use spray paint once again, gloss or flat black depending on mood , and touch up as needed.

[ericpcx]

Plasti dip is the way to go. if you every want to remove the plasti dip just pull it off. I HATE chrome also and I'm in the process of murdering out my Camaro. Just Spray multiple coats wait for each coat to dry, the more coats you add the easier it is to remove. When you don't want it on any more
just peel off and it's gone!

I agree that the Plasti dip is the way to go. My husband's cousin had this done to her car. While I'm not into to a fluorescent pink cars, it was something different. You can find a butt load of videos on Youtube.

You could use the clear plastic colour to winterise or chipproof vulnerable parts. Never heard of this stuff before

Hmmm....plasti dip. Me, I wouldn't jump in with two feet on dipping mine...But then I tend to overthink things (Like....scared)
I have a few questions: Is there any chance that while it's adhered to your finish, & after sitting in full (hot weather) sun, that it would ruin your "lovely" Camaro or PCX's paint? Like maybe create a haze if you were to peel it off? Is there any nasty chemical in it? Oh yeah, and does this dip dry in a matte finish? Appreciate any feed back. Interesting product Thank ya!

The beauty of plasti dip is that it is removable, if you over spray onto paint you can use any automotive bug-tar remover to remove it, also with sufficient layers of application it just peels off without leaving any residue on the surface it was applied to. It can be applied to nearly any surface as long as it is cleaned first. It comes in many colors and finishes, gloss or matte, it can be applied and typically lasts several years, normal ware and tear is equal to vinyl applications, but with the benefit of reapplying a new coat if it gets minor scratches. Plasti Dip stays on in sub zero temps and up can take a hot 120+degree day with out warping. It also acts like a shield protecting the surface underneath from the elements, moisture, UV and minor scratches dings.
would I use it on my scooter? maybe on the underside as an extra layer of protection. I don't like chrome but on a bike it's normal so I wouldn't go through the trouble just to spray the handlebars. That's just my opinion But for my car yup. blacked out Chevy logo on the back, chrome tail light bezels, gas filler cap, and soon blacked out rims. and when I'm tired of the look it peels right off!
