2stroke4stroke Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I used acrylic model paint on plastic stickers and it worked OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabalot Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Paint the mudguards white is another option. I've seen repainted plastic petrol tanks lose the paint and even new ones from the manufacturers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabie Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 vinyl wise - it is the difficultly of getting the template right from the 3D shape - once you have it drawn up there are thousand of sign companies that can print it. there are also specialists who will have specific vinyl for difficult applications (like bike plastics) and then its a question of how good a laminate you put on it. all of these things any sign company could get it, but the specialists that do bikes will be geared up for (eg spiral gfx, etc - search for mx graphics). specialist application like this *may* de-laminate if you use "normal" laminate (only 100 microns thick), there is some really heavy duty stuff out there (300 microns thick).
