Painting golf cart bodies

gofast67 · 04-03-2013, 09:55 PM

Good evening my carting friends. I wanna start painting a couple of bodies and I am curious to know what is the process of painting on these plastic shells? What would be the first coat on them to make the paint stick?

I used lowes plastic paint....look in my albums for pics. I was amazed at results. Good prep work, primer an your good to go.

We've done several carts with single stage paint from summit racing..Use the build able primer then mix paint ,reducer and activator then paint...

So I don't need any type of adhesive promoter to make the product stick to the plastic. I'm looking at doing high quality base coat clear coat stuff for myself.

I would say use it. Just makes sure what you use does not have a bad effect on the paint you choose.
