|  Painting stock plastic chassis/cages?
What are the gurus using? I wanna freshen up my AX10 deadbolt chassis, its pretty beaten and scratched up, so I feel good using it as a test platform before I go doing it on the new bomber I have coming. The bomber I'm going to want to do silver to mimic a real tube chassis.

Krylon Fusion. For best results, clean the cage with a mild degreaser and scuff with scuff pad or 400 grit sandpaper. Follow with multiple thin coats of paint and you should have a nice, durable finish. |

Painting is a bad idea. It looks great at first, but quickly gets damaged and then you see the plastic underneath.

I'm curious about this as well, what about truck bedliner? Can you get it in colors?

Chrome plate it. It can be done at home but not easily
