Spraying plastics.
I can get hold of a white belly pan for my 2000 curvey SV but i want to paint it black... (Rolling Stones reference!)
is this possible with just normal black spray paint. Iv never attempted anything like this before. Im aware that it will sit near the exhaust so will get hot, will this determine the paint type? Also, does anyone know how they fit to the bike? there arnt any holes drilled in it at all.... |

I've done a whole scooter (a lot of plastics!) in rattle can and the guy that bought it didn't even notice apart from on one panel where I'd left a run in and he said 'oh this front panel's had a respray hasn't it'. I was like "erm yeah, yes it has". Regarding fitment, mine has for holes in it which are bolted to metal brackets which bolts to the engine casings.

Re: Spraying plastics...
cheers for that. I guess i will have to get someone to hold it in position while i work out where the holes need to be, and how big the brackets need to be. It doesnt come with any fixings and i could get some brackets made up i guess. not ideal
bit of a pain really as i dont want to go drilling mounting holes and get them wrong! as for the spraying technique, sounds like a good method! cheers |

Re: Spraying plastics...
No problem.
I'd get some fixings made up first then you can attach them roughly then hold it to the fixings and mark the holes to be drilled. But you can't go too wrong, there'll be a large margin for error.
