How to paint your own plastics DIY

A word from the wise: sewing machines dont need much oil Something my DH obviously didnt know - hes used to oiling the bag sewer at work which is a much larger machine . . . hence months later Im STILL mopping up oil. Very when it gets on your fabric

i was working on an old ZXI i bought at the end of last season. chips, scratches and faded decals. a low cost alternative is automotive vinyl wrap. it's relatively cheap vs paint and not that difficult to install. this was my first time using vinyl so its not perfect but looks better than it did!

Would Any Professional Paint shop be able to supply these products? Im looking to do my plastics black as they are currently a burnt red color/

You need to go to a place that sells professional grade paints - the type of place that sells to body shops. There are tons of places online to buy paint.

Hey Caliburst have you done any touch up paint jobs? I have a couple of nicks here and there. I don't think they warrant a new paint job. I know I'm a little late on the post but is there any help?
