Hey Guys!

I left my at sitting in the garage all night and when I came back I noticed the paint peeled away.

Did somebody spill something on that??

That is very odd.

Oooops.....forgot to mention. It was brake fluid but I wiped it off.

Hey chap.. brake fluid is very corrosive to paint.

One particular ingridient of brake fluid is the Polyethylene glycol, which is also found in some solvents, is very corrosive to paint.

Hmmmm....but I wiped it out. How come my 50cc paint did not come off.

from what i have seen some of the bikes,more so with the larger models are just spray painted and im sure the have no flex additive. the only reason i can figure is the smaller one sell better so the color is molded in them i would just wait or if it bothers you spray it again. the apollo four wheelers were painted with what looked to be rattle can i even found the masking tape

I might put carbon fiber vinyl. How do you think that will look?
