Painting Polycarbonate
 
I am going to make a screen for my XT out of clear polycarbonate. What can I use to paint the screen with?

Cheap would be good. Could I just use ordinary car spraypaint like what they sell in Halfords?

plastic paint!
 
normal car paint is not flexible and it will crack with the vibration of bike etc. there are special paints for this and if you go to your local paint suppliers (who supply local bodyshops etc) they should sort you out with what you need.they will even make it in a spray can in any colour you want.
ps- dont forget to sand it first!:thumbup1:
