where do i find special paint made for four wheeler plastic? and has anybody used it? how'd it hold up? how about putting decals on it? do they just peel off the paint?

You will have to look into auto paints.That fusion junk doesnt work,unless you never ride.Lots of work&prep involved in doing it right.Better to buy new plastic if possible.

i used that fusion paint on my stater cover and chain guard for the front sprocket and it hasnt wore of yet, i think it works good, but its not smoothe plastic so maybe that has something to do with it?

Any paint on the plastic especially when you ride trails will not work. It will not look very good after a few rides if you ride as hard as you say you do.

Of course normal plastic would not look good if you ride as hard as you say.
