Painting The Vibe

So i am going to paint my vibe. I decided wither white or neon green so i was wondering what kind of spray paint should i get. Like a kind that won't chip or just peel off. I want something that will last really long.
And to help me choose colors can someone do that thing to the vibe in photoshop where they change the colors of the body, grip, barrel, asa, etc.

Alright, first I would lightly sand down the plastic parts you're going to paint. Don't take off material just don't make it smooth. Buy some Krylon Fusion paint and some clearcoat. Then paint it (make it look good, use tape where it is needed). Then buy some clearcoat and spray like 5 coats of that over it. Spray a coat, wait till it dries, spray another coat.

Clear coat is literally that. A clear paint that is sprayed over top to protect the paint.

good luck painting, i tried in the summer.

Either clearcoat it or use primer. I don't know that much about painting. That's why I'm not sure if you want to use a primer or a clearcoat. But it seems like it would bond better with the plastic if you sanded it rather than used primer.

ok heres what you do, you get some really fine sand paper you want to sand the body just enough to rough up the body, then spray it with some primer, wait for that to dry then lightly sand that, then do the same thing with the primer again, sand it then paint it, put at least 2 good coats of paint on there then after that dries like they said above put a good 4 or 5 coats of clear coat on there, remember wait for every thing to dry before you put another coat on, hope this helps
