If your scooter’s plastics are looking worn out or damaged, don’t fret! With a few simple steps, you can easily restore them to their former glory. Follow this step-by-step guide to bring that fresh look back to your scooter.

What You Will Need

  • Warm water
  • Dishwashing soap
  • Sponge or soft cloth
  • Sanding block or sandpaper (600 to 2000-grit)
  • Plastic primer spray
  • Automotive-grade paint spray
  • Clear coat spray
  • Microfiber cloth

Step 1: Cleaning

Begin by thoroughly washing the plastic parts of your scooter using warm water mixed with a small amount of dishwashing soap. Gently scrub them with a sponge or soft cloth to remove any dirt, grime, or oily residue. Rinse off the soap residue and allow the plastics to dry completely.

Step 2: Sanding

Inspect the plastics for any imperfections or deep scratches. If you find any, use a sanding block or sandpaper to smooth them out. Start with a coarse grit (around 600) and gradually work your way up to a finer grit (around 2000). This will ensure the surface is smooth and ready for painting.

Step 3: Applying Primer

Before painting, it’s essential to apply a plastic primer to enhance adhesion and improve the paint’s durability. Spray an even coat of plastic primer onto the sanded surfaces, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.

Step 4: Painting

Now comes the fun part – painting! Choose an automotive-grade paint spray that matches the color of your scooter’s plastics. Shake the can thoroughly, then spray multiple thin and even coats of paint onto the primed surfaces, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. This will ensure a smooth and professional finish on your scooter’s plastics.

Step 5: Final Touches

Once the paint has dried, apply a clear coat spray to protect and seal the paint. Just like with the paint, layer on thin and even coats, letting each coat dry before applying the next. This will give your scooter plastics a glossy finish while providing additional protection.

Step 6: Buffing and Polishing

After the clear coat has dried, use a clean microfiber cloth to gently buff and polish the painted surfaces. This will help remove any minor imperfections and enhance the shine of the newly restored plastics.

Step 7: Reassemble

Once you’re satisfied with the paint job, carefully reassemble the plastics onto your scooter. Take your time to ensure everything is securely fastened and aligned properly.

By following these step-by-step instructions, you can breathe new life into your scooter plastics. Not only will your scooter look fantastic, but you’ll also have saved money by avoiding costly replacements. Enjoy the fresh look of your newly restored scooter!
