NFT: Spray painting plastic question

the tires or the wheels?

You can scuff up the wheels with 220 and prime and paint.
You might even use 320 if the plastic is really soft.

How you'd get a good paint job to stick on the tires is beyond me.

Just for what your looking to do. Check with a hobby store that sells paint

I use the terms (incorrectly) interchangeably.

The wheels are plastic. My concern is that as my girl rides this thing, it will just peel off the pain, right? I suppose it would still look okay on the sides and stuff. Hmm, maybe I should go finish painting it now!

I bought it to spray white PVC when making fishing rod holders for my kayak. However, that stuff will also scratch off easily.

PVC with acetone? That helps.

.

wipe the sides of the wheels with an automotive plastic shine product?

dye the plastic. There are ways to do it,but the colors are probably a bit limited. I know people dye they gun magazines black, deep red, deep blue for example.

I'd probably try that post above me automotive bring black back to life idea first.

You also have plastic dip as an option. Not sure how it would hold up, like paint, but maybe with 20 coats and good prep. Maybe it lasts and provides better grip for awhile and can be reapplied. Just another possibility.

You can prime and powder coat plastic wheels for a durable finish. Check you tube for the details. This is the best option...
