I recently got delivery of my MCS. I want to paint the wheel arches the same color as the car. i just want to know your opinion and whether painting on plastic is ok for the long term. i don't want it going all funny after a year or two.

Cheers!

Plastic is one of the hardest surfaces to paint. My suggestion would be to use a good sealer first the paint. Go to a local Body Shop and ask them for the best type of sealer out there on the market. That is the key to painting plastic.
