Plastic Mega scoops.

[Horrendous]

Hey everyone.. I just put in an order for the black plastic megascoops from exactrep.

Now im kicking myself thinking I should have ordered the aluminum ones. I dont want the chrome look I was going to paint them glossy black and metallic red and im wondering if the paint is going to stick and hold to the plastic scoops or If I should have gotten aluminum and painted them.
Thoughts?

Prep them right & the paint will stick just fine. I am fixing to paint my black ones silver.LOL

Agreed. The plastic ones will work just fine.

I've been using Krylon Fusion and other brands of plastic paint on bike parts and to Camo AR-15's. Works great and it's about indestructable.
Even when I've used it on metal parts...

BTW: CaptainKyle is One Hell of a Fantastic Painter....

'chrome' spray paint doesn't look half bad. i used some rustoluem stuff and then did an 'anodized' spray over it and it looks pretty cool. the chrome came out well before i coated it too tho.

I have the same ones. They just need to be prepped properly. An experienced painter should not have a problem with them. They will require some sanding before priming.

Make sure the mounting holes are counter sunk deep enough before painting them. I found out after painting. I just needed to buy a couple longer screws, but that's frustrating to find out when your ready to mount them.

Big Thanx for the prep tips Ridin Dirty
