If you wanna do a cheap job that will stick, after you scuff the plastics you wil want to use a black eching primer ( some flex add is a good idea too! ) keep n mind dirt bike plastics bend and flex much more than say a plastic bumper on a car so you can expect crows feet to acure , than cracking, flaking and than doing it All over again! But hay it's just plastics have fun with it!

You can paint on plastic in general (you just use a plastic primer). You cannot however paint on plastic tanks. Some vapor seems to get through the plastic and the paint always ends up coming off.
