Will update as I make progress...

Looking good so far, keep it up! Just going for a solid yellow i assume?

hey i like purple motorcycles! but the paintjob is looking good

Yeah, I'm using 2 coats of primer, then a few coats of rustoleum yellow protective enamel... I'm on coat number 2 on the pieces that I've already sprayed yellow... Looking decent for a spray can job so far... I may tape it off and add some basic angles in black after I finish the yellow... Maybe like the early 00' models of gsxr's, but just like one triangle stretched across the bike, just to break up the yellow... I'm also fixing some mechanical problems also before it can get on the roAd... Figured I might as well paint it since it's torn down and I didn't like the color... Front fairing is gonna be rough I assume... It's sooo big for a 1 piece...

/moved to pre-gen farkles

Hopefully that primer and paint will bond to the plastic and not crack as it flexes, otherwise you'll be doing it again.
Anyone try Krylon paint for the plastic?, it makes a chemical bond not just a coating.
Nice color, bright and also very visible.

Seeing as how it wasn't bare plastic I just scuffed up the old paint real good and primered over it 2 coats then sprayed my yellow... Tried flexing it alot, no cracking...
