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

I am sure you are correct, AZ. Color molded into the plastic is undoubtedly superior. However, my Zong's fender is fabricated from clear plastic, painted orange. Therefore, I have nothing to lose by repainting this fender.

Quite frankly, I am amazed how well my Zong's fender has withstood the abuse from mud and rocks. I wonder what paint the Chinese used? :?:
