What type of paint to use on my enclosure?

turktrax · 07-15-2009, 02:48 AM

I just came across a three sided vinyl enclosure to put on my hunting cart. My cart is camo and the enclosure is white. I've added a picture of an enclosure below that is very simular to the one I have along with a picture of my cart.

What would be the best type of paint to use to try and camo this thing so it wont stick out like a sore thumb on my buggy? Preferrably something that will last a while.

they make spray paint for vinyl ..... that might be the ticket?

I would think you have some swamps near by, just go bogging for an afternoon.

Really Scotty is right the vinyl spray paint for upholstery is tough. You will need to wipe the cover down with some kind of prep to allow adhesion.

just hunt in the snow and you will be fine...

I like your paint job. I am thinking of painting mine, and if I thought mine would turn out that good, I would do it. Just afraid mine would look like crap.
Did you do it yourself?

I know that SEM makes allot of different paints for different applications and they do have paint for vinyl. You will probably have to go to an autobody supply store to find it but then when you are there you can ask them questions about what you are trying to achieve. Good luck

Sounds good. I am looking for an aeresol paint cause its not that much of each color that will be needed. I have seen a couple of post about guys using paint specific for plastic but wasnt sure if it would work for vinyl as well.

SEM

I have used SEM several times and it works good. They have lots of colors also if you go to a auto paint store. Oreilly's Part stores carry a few colors and might can order what you need.

That would be too easy! The person is probably looking to get Quality time with their cart
