Go to Wilkinson... and get Plasticote (sp?), I think it is the cheapest I have found... but as with all cheap paint... it shows!

Ebay seems to be fairly pricey too be quite honest with you.

I really couldn't care about the quality.
For a stunt bike anyway.

Just use some ordinary paint and a roller. Someone on here did it recently for a track bike and it didn't look too bad from a distance Wink

Just got to a different Poundland, one here sells black paint and clear laquer cans for £1, also hammerite and plasticote cans. Matt black, sanded right with lacquer will look good if its cheap paint or not. Whether it resists petrol and stonechips and the test of time is another matter.

Painted my track bike using Dulux gloss and a paint brush. Looks great. I used a melamine primer I had lying around, which has really helped the paint bite onto the plastic.

The poundland paint is ok but the paint tends to block the nozel even when you've inverted them and sprayed any paint out.

Noticed that with my cheapo paint before.


nearest poundland is 13 miles away.
No bike means i ain't walking.

I could two tone white+black it.

Look for a homeplus too:)

Thanks guys
