So after looking at prices for awhile on all the diff Flarings my bike I decided to paint my bike myself due to price. I've taken all the plastics off and have one left to sand before that's done. now my question is, what kind of paint/primer should I be using seeing as its plastic I don't want to do all this work and use wrong paint. I've painted the bumper on one of my previous cars before but this is a diff plastic. So what kind of paint and primer should I use to make this job right?

Thanks

 

Check over in the How-To: Paint & Body section. There are a few tips there.

 

Cool beans, probly shouldve searches sorry. Got her painted a nice flat black looks awesome.

 

Let's see her!

 

It's not perfect but it covers up the scraps, dings, and HORIBLE paint job it had. It used to be yellow and purple then the last guy did a bad job painting it grey then dropped both sides multiple times exposing the ugly yellow and purple lol

I left the tank shiny grey and i like it. I forgot to paint the lil fuse box piece and the wheels still grey with yellow scraps but looks 100x better then before

 

 

very nice man! Im just about finished up spraying mine too. Had sooo many hours into sanding and repairing the PO damage. Prep sucks, but its nice when it comes out well. Good job, hope mine looks ok when i put it back together.

 

That does have a good look to it.

 

I know I spent like 4 days of sanding and many beers to prep lol but thanks a ton I'm glad it turned out awesome and others think too. I was unsure on the tank still being shiny dark grey and if the flat black would turn out good. Here's what it was before, other side was worse FYI when it came to scraps, exposed yellow, ect were my gf mom backed into it. Plus that awfull bra thing. The guy had also duck tapped tons of padding under it and to the tank lol
