Has anyone tried painting aatv's?

Newer cars have a lot of painted plastic parts, bumpers, mirrors, etc.
Special primers are used as are flex agents added to the paint.
Will paint stick to the plastic of aatv's?

If you will search the site there are several good threads on this topic. Basically the answer is that there is not a paint that will stick permanently. Every time you drive the AATV the body is flexing, especially if you hit something and the paint will start to crack and flake off. With that said, I painted my old max II body and several other members have done the same. You just have to touch the paint up every now and then.

Again, the search is going to be your friend here for more detailed information. Here's two threads I found to get you started:

Thanks Mike, That helped alot. My mechanical skills are excellent, but my computer skills suck. I've been stumbleing around the site trying to get back to places I've been already and I'm just starting to get hang of it.
