Can we see pictures of your paint and the cup holder? I'd have taotao 150cc Powermax vip and I've wanted a cup holder for as long as I can remember

What type of paint did you use? (I was wondering about gas resistance.)

That is why I use automotive grade paints as most others won't be as resistant to fuel spills. It may take a few weeks to get too full hardness however once that passes the automotive paints will be more resistant to solvants and gasoline then those from the home center.

Believe it or not I use transparent engine enamel as clear-coat, then wet sand and hand polish. Comes out beautifully and is gas and chemical resistant. (The only drawback is waiting a week or more for the paint to cure before you can do the finish work)

Apparently, it takes 30 days for the Krylon Fusion to cure, and I live in nice and humid Central Florida. I don't think it would have been an issue if the paint wasn't so fresh.

Actually there is a video on youtube on how to put a first class finish on a vehicle (in this case a scooter) I've followed it and it does work, and it is the contention of the poster that it takes at least TWO months for paint to fully cure after the initial 2-3 day drying time. (i've found that to be pretty much the case as well.)
