Stripping and painting plastic panels - SV650.org

11-11-04, 11:58 AM

Santa's bringing me a mini moto for christmas. I feel the need to get out the airbrush. Does anyone know what the best stripper, primer combo for plastic panels is? I'm guessing that domestic and/or metal strippers will melt the plastic.

Wet and Dry mate that's the best stuff, 2pk primer.

Nice one, SexySi!

Now the next question is, what race rep?

Well, how's about the Corona colours, I'm thinking about doing my spare set of panels this colour, cause I can get the decals from Morgan designs. I have already got the Yellow,white and blue, just need to get the purple.

Ha! Much too complicated for my limited painting ability. It's going to have to be a flat colour that can be stickered up. Which means basically Yamaha Gauloise, Rizla Suzuki or Ducati Marlboro. If I can run to straight lines then there is the possibility of one of the coolest paintjobs ever...

Gentlemen, I give you The JPS Norton. It's black! When was the last time a black bike won anything?

If I had an older-looking bike, and I was going to race rep it, it'd be a John Player Special

Very, very cool looking bikes.
