see that white cover. That is what I want to spray ( now so ugly because it start to crack) . The problem is that I always wax that area and the paint will sure peal off. What spray can i use to spray it? Need any undercoating? or must cure the plastic first.

this fender sure will crack after a period....if u wan it as beauty as always, just go advertisement shop to tint it with the colored tint...black, white,red, blue......many color can let u choose....i think it will cost below 50 plus installation..
but it only tint the front of the plastic..the inner they wont do for u i think...

even u spray it and repair it to ori condition, it will still crack after a period..due to sunshine and rain...

well.. to spray on palstics.. it is not as simple as u think... if originally it got paint on it.. then u can just use sand paper to sand it a bit then can spray already...

if onli plastic... i believe there is a primer for plastic need to be applied 1st b4 u do the painting job...

well.. u can try de Krylon paints for plastics.... from ACE hardware which costs bout rm31 a can... or just change de plastic cover... motor shop will have them.. save all ur hassle... i heard from a fren. whole motorbike change new covers is less than rm100... so i think it wun be so expensive to change de plastic.... :)

actually i'm trying to avoid changing the cover :) . yes it cost less than rm100.

maybe try to look for primer for plastic or look for krylon.

heard from the tauke at the motor shop there is a solution use by car painter to cure the plastic so the paint will stick. Any idea what it is?
