So far so good. Holding up better than expected. Time will tell though as I have to wash it right away here after a day of muddy trail riding. I think with a powerful enough pressure washer it will strip. I have not chipped it yet and it has taken a few branch strikes. I would not reccomend painting as I don't think it's worth the effort. If your plastics are fine leave them alone. Mine unfortunatly were painted 4 different times before I got it and when it did get to the original plastics they had been sanded with a corse sandpaper and would have required alot of time and effort to bring back. Painting was a cheap easy fix but still took lots of time as I sanded lots to fill in the scratches. I used 6 cans of krylon fusion on the topside of the plastics alone, I left the underside alone.
