Best type of (spray?) paint for PVC.

Our team has had great results with the Krylon Fusion Paint. Our 2005 Corkscrews were painted with this and saw a lot of action without needing touching up. Our base panels and shipping crate (Plascore fiberglass) were also painted with Fusion. I think we used a different brand for our pit display last year (or maybe just didn't clean as well) and it shows a lot more wear for what it went through. As with any paint, cleaning the surface first is almost as important as what kind of paint you use.

Unless you want to spend lots of money on special plastic paint, I reccomend buying a set of white primer than using spray paint of your team colors. It ussually cheaper to do this than buy special plastic paint.
