Most golf carts come in a pretty standard white color. Making your golf cart stand out is a must for some people, but the uncertainty of painting the plastic and fiberglass pieces on a golf cart deters many.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Masking tape
  • Plastic bags
  • 100 grit Sandpaper
  • Hose
  • Microfiber towel
  • Acrylic spray paint
  • Primer spray paint
  • Plastic acrylic shine sealer spray paint
  • Protective eyewear
  • Gloves
  • Painting mask
  • Sealed shed or garage
  1. Step 1

    Sand every plastic and fiberglass surface on your golf cart with a circular motion. This will get the paint to stick better.

  2. Step 2

    Wash the dust off with a hose, and dry the cart completely with a microfiber towel.

  3. Step 3

    Drive the golf cart into a sealed shed or garage so you don't get outdoor debris to blow onto the fresh paint.

  4. Step 4

    Tape plastic bags over anything you don't want to get paint on. This includes parts of the golf cart interior, the golf cart wheels, etc.

  5. Step 5

    Apply two very thin coats (15 minute intervals) of primer spray paint to all the plastic and fiberglass pieces you are painting. Allow one hour for drying.

  6. Step 6

    Apply three to four very thin coats (20 minutes intervals) of the color of acrylic spray paint you choose. Allow one hour for drying.

  7. Step 7

    Apply two thin coats (30 minute intervals) of acrylic shine sealer spray paint to all the plastic and fiberglass pieces you are painting. Allow 24 hours for drying.

  8. Step 8

    Remove the tape and plastic bags.

Tips & Warnings
  • Wear protective eyewear, mask and gloves.
