Only some types of plastic can be painted successfully mate. As far as I understand, the kind of thermoplastic that dirt bikes use will not hold paint, and they have to rely upon dyes in their initial manufacture for colour. I think this is one of those rules that you just won't get around no matter what sort of paint or surface prep you try.

Road bikes use a much more brittle plastic that is specially designed and chosen to receive paint. It makes for very pretty bikes until the first big spill.
