Curious what the consensus is on painting plastics with a vinyl siding paint. Anyone try it?

Thanks for the reply. The fusion is definitely a second choice I might give the vinyl paint a shot. Cheers

I wouldn't paint plastics on bikes, it will eventually wear off. If you want to change the looks, go with a different color of plastic, and purchase a decal kit to snazz up your ride....

True ... but some of us aren't in a position to buy a new plastic kit and graphics, thus... wanting to paint it.

My first bike? I made a front number plate out of a piece of 1/4" plywood and hand painted the number on it. All these years later, that bike has as many good memories attached to it as any bike I've ever had.
