    Don't paint your fenders. Click on my Tri-Z and 200x links in my sig.

    And you can just polish the rims (assuming they're aluminum).

    yes i kno it looks like it is from hell, well its a 225 dx and it had so much unnessary stuff on it, and taped seat and dirty and no plastics. the front trees and bars are tweaked to hell. so it look Funky. So i got the plastics in line and i need to kno what the best way to paint them, and make sure the paint doesent chip off??

    If your going to paint the plastics use KRYLON FUSHION spray paint its made just for plastic. You can buy it at any wallmart I just painted mine last week and they turned out great.
