I have a Pelican 1520 solid side bag that I want to paint. What info or tips can you give me about painting Pelicans? I plan to use a light sandpaper (even if the Pelican is fiberglass/plastic), wipe clean with rubbing alcohol, let dry, then spray with Krylon Black Matte. Any reason what that is a bad idea? Does anyone have experience in painting Pelicans? And, thanks. Eddie

Eddie, Krylon Fusion is a paint marketed to be suitable for "most plastics". No word on whether Pelican plastic fills the bill, though. http://www.krylon.com/main/product_template.cfm?levelid=5&sub_levelid=10&productid=1751&content=product_details or http://tinyurl.com/2suzg Usual disclaimers apply, Mike Martin, Louisville, KY --- eddiebmauri wrote:
