Anybody ever done this before? I did it this afternoon worked pretty good. I used Krylon Fusion Plastic Bonding Spray Paint. Just wondering if this will start to flake off.

Here's a pic (looks pinker than what it really is)

Hopefully they will hold up better than my wheels. But I did run the scratchers quite a bit. Kind of blasted the fusion pretty good. Just laquer thinner the daylights out of them and scrub them with coarse ScotchBrite. Should be fine since they're out front and not spinning around getting ice blasted. I does seem to stick pretty well. I'm sure any paint would have worn off the wheels. Looked nice when it was new.

Looks pink to me also. What color were they before you molested them with the new paint?

ok there are NOT pink here's some pics! took my "INDY XC" sticker off that was under the headlight and put my blue monster sticker on too. (it's slightly crooked! i can't believe it!) I can't wait to put the new track on, get her summerized so i can get it off this stupid open trailer and onto either the enclosed trailer or the sled shed!
