A big no on painting plastics. It looks pretty bad, pretty quickly. Not so much on the saws, but I've seen guys paint dirtbikes. After one ride, it screams of "I huffed half this can of spraypaint and used the rest on my plastics."I’ve been tossing around the idea of painting the top cover on a 266 I recently put together. It’s pretty rough, I was thinking some kind of camo pattern. Thoughts?
Yeah, I’m not entirely set on doing it just something I was thinking about. This particular top cover is pretty rough, it’s what I have for now until I can find a nicer one.A big no on painting plastics. It looks pretty bad, pretty quickly.

I've seen some good results from the Rit dye. I was planning on trying it one of these days, but there are some Youtube videos out there on how to do it. The best part is it's dye, so it doesn't look crappy right away.

That looks pretty sweet. Nice work.Your post inspired me to finally use the Rit Dye on a couple of my saws. It's actually really cool, I mixed 1:1 black and graphite color to end up with a really nice looking black that almost has a hint of "gunmetal look." The best part is that you can scratch it and it remains the same color.
The "murdered out" look isn't for everyone, but what my 500i looks like now..they've got a bunch of different colors. The max flow cover is actually black plastic, so that expains the color difference.

Did you use any kind of top coat like auto clear coat?Your post inspired me to finally use the Rit Dye on a couple of my saws.
