What type of paint can you paint the plastic body kit of a Motorbike with?

It depends on the type of finish you want. You can use any kind of paint, but I would use some kind of acrylic type glossy paint after prepping and primer for the best finish.


Is this a toy model or a regular motor cycle?


I have used a good acrylic paint out of a spray can to change the color of my bike (Kawasaki Ninja) every two weeks just to be different and it looked really good, but I did a lot of prep work each time so to have the best results.What type of paint can you paint the plastic body kit of a Motorbike with?
You have to check what type of plastic it is. If it's styrene or ABS, any paint will stick(I would sand it lightly with 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper, sanding wet to avoid dust). If it's PVC or polyethylene then nothing is going to permanently stick.What type of paint can you paint the plastic body kit of a Motorbike with?
Krylon makes a spraypaint just for plastics. Look at Home Depot, it's about $4.00 per can
