Ok so the admins build he noted that he's painting the Chrome bumper :(

what a bummer man!!

Well i no wanna get rid of my chrome, but thought maybe i better pimp it out a little!

so i'm thinking

matching BLUE AXLES so any tips

I figure plugging screw holes and others for shafts and knuckles.
Should i sand it a little to hold the paint better?
And same paint on the body should be fine correct?

Sweet Sweet thanks for any tips

Maybe super fine sandpaper or even scotchbrite pad. Use the paint for the lexan body, it will stick good to the plastic.

most of the big box stores [mart] will have kylon fusion paint and it will stick to most plastics,and its more paint for the same price as lexan paint, make sure to cover the threads and holes, and use primer so the color is close to what you want

He is just painting the part of the bumper that the instructions tell you to paint.

And like CM 113 said, use a primer first. Just plan old white paint.
