I tried painting a palstic tank, Once the temps got into the high 80's it looked like it got some kind of disease. Bumps everywhere :( And I did a perfect prep..Used to work at a body shop. The paint cannot breath..Until they make one that can it will not look good for long....And the older the tank the worse it will be. And the Fusion may claim to be able to flex with the plastic but it has it's breaking point. Again I know from a mistake. My Nephew who is an idiot hit a car with the quad..Not hard but enough to bend the plastic...The paint cracked just like any other paint would. Sure it did not flake like the others but it will not handle the stresses these plastics take.

My 2 cents
