Anyone use Plastic spray paint for txt body
 
The spray paint for plastic furniture. Seems like it can handle the flex. Thanks Mike

I've used Fusion on a few carts. Simply light sanded and painted. Held up well.

Thanks spriddle. Seemed like it would work and be a cheap way to slap the ugly off my white cart ! Mike

Yep, cheapest and easiest way to make it look good. And one good thing, you always run back down to Walmart to get more if needed.

I sometimes run a drop over cover and they rub on the finish so I hated to spend a lot. Thought about a wrap but I'm sure they would wear and no way to touch up. Rattle can it is ! Mike

When you go to get your paint, make sure it has a good fan spray type nozzle. Not the old style crappy sprayer like what's on hairspray, etc.... You'll get a better paint job. Pretty sure all Fusion and Duplicolor has this now.

For sure. The fan pattern is way better than the cone pattern of days gone by. Even the cheap wally world gloss black I painted my nerf bars on my samurai had the fan pattern 3 years ago.

Even cheap paint properly applied will hold up well. Not a scratch where we step on them to get in. Mike

Yep, you know what I'm talking about. There's an art to using spray cans. I haven't completely figured it out yet. LOL! Most difficult thing I ever tried to use from a spray can is the tint spray on glass/plastic and painting a design using a template. Example is the headlights and tail lights on my lowered Nissan truck. You really really have to light coat, dry, reapply. Can't stand to far away either because it will texture up like overspray. It runs very easy too and the temp has to be right.

That's a tough one. Of course I did spend some time in a custom paint shop in my youth. Knowing how to apply paint helps even when using cans. Now what you are doing I've never tried. Good luck ! Mike
