I think the plastic parts all need to be sanded down than painted??? It looks REALLY NICE like that though. I've seen it on a FEW Rigs!!

The guy at the paint shop said that even sanding the plastic will not let the paint stick and there will be a lot of problems with chipping.

It would chip on the bumpers... I agree.... but saying it wouldn't stick makes me think the guy doesn't want to do it.

Maybe find a similar piece of "scratch" plastic (e.g., from a junk yard) to practice on. It would be cool to have one of those very fine misting guns like they use.

All the very best with your project.

It will work just fine as long as it is sanded and prepped right. Mine has been done aound two years with no issues.
