So I want to paint my frame hugger orange with black swinger and a-arms. What color would look good for the plastics with that scheme? Open to all ideas, plastic is currently white/ red(nose/tank)
 
black and orange or solid black, just dont paint the plastic, it wont stay on, its guna chip and look really bad. buy some maier, get the race nose and itll look good.
 
i think a dark silver would look badass
Yea I was thinking that would set the orange frame off

Paint will stay on plastics, if you do it right it won't chip and flake due to bending and rocks... I just dropped about a grand in the engine and a few other components I was looking for a cheaper cosmetic solution
 
White plastics i would think, i like my red frame, black arms + swinger and white plastics

Or black, never anything wrong with black
 
I got my second coat of primer on my frame today, hopefully will lay my first layer of color tomorrow. Will attempt to post some pics when the frames finished
 
it will stick, but i had my plastic fenders on my sportbike painted and it has chips in it, so you just gota think what limbs and rocks are guna do to it. the guy that painted mine is very good, always does a great job, i wouldnt go to anybody else but now it needs to be painted again. he just did my windscreen cuz it was all screwed up. i know buying plastic can get expensive, cuz i want the custom maier for mine, and the raptor fenders for my other banshee. lol its not a cheap hobby. but try it and see how it holds up, may work well for a while.
 
Plastics can be painted to be ok but new plastics would be the way to go.
IMO orange frame with black plastics would look sick! My second choice would be white but I think black would make the frame really pop.
