How to do stunt plastics?
I'm fixing up some busted up plastics that I bought over the net, and I'm debating on how or what to do with them...
I'm obviously going to repair them, but what should I do as far as paint, cosmetics...?
I've see the whole fur style bike, but where have they been lately? ( haven't seen them in a bit )
Then I was going to just do a flat black paint job.. Anything crazy or weird ya guys can throw out that I can do to the bike?
Any and ALL opinions.

Re: How to do stunt plastics?
im still debating what i wanna do to mine as well. if youre plastics are really busted then youll probaby wanna flat black it or make the paint scheme busy as hell so its harder to spot imperfections.
i used to play lacrosse and do crazy die jobs. im toying with the same concepts for my bike. basically you lay down a grapic color, hot glue (or tape) the schitz out of it then put like a top coat of solid on top. then you just peel away the glue/tape. heres an example.

im interested in hearing people thoughts on this. and is hot glue a terrible idea for paint, like is it gonna rip the base layer off completely?

haha i used to dye the heads too. using hot glue and all to make splatters.. anyway. its a 600rr 2004. I'm going to chop the wind screen too.
I:'m going to repair the plastics and plastic weld them and I was thinking about going flat black. But that seems too basic. I was also thinking about glow in the dark paint..
you can get a decent paint job using dupli color spray paints? I seen that they have plastic adhesion promoter primer, and all. I dont want to spend money and get it done professionally. Not worth it.

first off your going to have to sand them a little so that your new paint will stick, otherwise its just gonna flake off... their are tons of combinations of color schemes you can do with a couple cans of spray paint and some tape and paper. if i were doing it i would sand them down a bit, throw a rattle can primer on (flat black) then choose a primary color get it in gloss (rattle can) go buy two sticker kits which are like 5-20 bucks each depending on stickers and size then just coordinate the stickers around my rough spots (your gonna have to scuff the paint a lil for the stickers to stick well and then just match it on the other side.
