Still gradually putting the pieces back together on my broken beast and would like some advice if possible.

1. Can anyone offer advice on making repairs to fairing plastic - got a couple of cracks. What's the best way to repair them? What's the best product to get and where can I get it?

2. Painting - I've found I need to buy YD8 Metallic Sonic Silver (mine's a 2002 SVS). I'll need to paint the areas of repair - any advice? I also bought a black front mudguard off e-bay. It's already painted a gloss black colour, but I was planning on putting a silver stripe down the middle of it. Aerosol looks easiest, but what do I need to do to prepare the surface? Do I need to put a top coat of some kind on as well. Where can I buy all the stuff I need in the UK? The recommendation on this site Colorrite seems to be US based.

Any advice greatly appreciated!
