Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

I've been checking out ways to paint what I think are polyethylene parts on my '94 Dio (SK50). I came across this product that claims to be the first polyethylene primer. Actually it's a polyethylene bonding coat that you then apply a primer layer to. Anybody tried it? Or know of a store selling it in the USA/Canada?

1K POLYETHYLENE Stage 1: Bonding Coat

Greetings:

Hope someone tries it. It'd truly be a "World First".

After a little online searching I found two other products that promote bonding specifically to polyethylene:

3MÔäó AutomixÔäó Polyolefin Adhesion Promoter for TPO Repair
And everyone knows polyethylene is a polyolefin....... "polyethylene is the polyolefin produced by polymerizing the olefin ethylene" (from wikipedia)
3M website: "for the repair of polypropylene and ethylene propylene interior and exterior parts"


1023 Transtar Plasto-Mend TPO Adhesion Promoter
"to promote adhesion of coatings and repair materials to PP (Polypropylene), PE (Polyethylene), TPO (Thermoplastic Olefins)"

I won't be ready to paint my scoot until the Spring. If anyone has any first had experience with any of these products let me know! If not then I guess I'll be the guinea pig.

bully dog makes some good stuff 66six used it on mititary scooter which turned out amazing i must say

I saw 66six's paint job. Great look.

But his scoot is definitely not polyethylene. It's a pre-poly bike. You can tell by one of the pictures where he has sanded through the outer paint layer and inside is white. Polyethylene is one colour all the way through. PE is also very flexible, must be repaired by melting/welding and is slippery plastic like a bleach bottle.

Anybody have the verdict yet on hot to paint the blasted polyethylene? There is a theory out there that a thin layer of acrylic paint will stick to polyethylene, but just a thin layer, more than that will peel right off. Has anyone tested the theory? I believe in my heart and soul that this could work. If it does I will be at peace in life. There has to be a solution from some of the great minds on the forum!!!!
