Painting a skid plate

[hardcoregirl]

Has anyone ever painted a skid plate? What is the best to use. I would perfer to buy new but I can't find anyone who makes a pink one. Any suggestions? It would be for a 2012 IQ. Thanks

Automotive paint with flex would be the best. Maybe paint it white first, before applying the pink.

The point of a skid plate is to protect the sled if you plan to run over lots of branches are stumps etc. There is no way the paint will completly stay. If you ride lightly on really good trails theres a chance the majority of it will stick but most likely it will scrape off and just look worse.

will not fit. You brought up an evolved chassis skid plate, Hardcore needs one for a 12 IQ

won't stick

get a white or gray and die it

I looked far and wide for you, no such luck. Get a red one and leave it out in the sun until next fall, maybe it will fade to pink!

I would try the stuff in the rattle can made for outdoor plastic furniture.
or just buy a cat and order the pink acc kit that my wife has been hounding me to get.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I currently have a red on on there now. After some online research I think i will try the Krylon spray paint. Will see how long it lasts......also EZRA......sorry but a cat isn't an option LOVE my sled! It's a long way from the 81 John Deere my husband started me on over 13 years ago!

Go with the Krylon Fusion paint, I've used it on plastics and it works good.
