Been through all the threads here, and what I've so far been able to find elsewhere regarding this subject but still at a loss.
Situation: Having to strip down my CRM to get the engine welded, so I thought I might do the custom work I was planning on doing to it at a latter stage now.
Requirements: Paint purple and white plastics gloss black. Paint metal tank gloss black. Paint engine silver/aluminium. Powder coat or anodize steel frame (which ever will take the most beating, this is a heavily used bike so painting would look like shite after a week - as it does now). Someone posted a link to the POR15 site, so I'm pretty comfortable as to the tank and (hopefully) the engine side of things. Which just leaves the plastics.
Options: Get new black plastics from Japan with the help of Brian d'marge (thanks for the offer of assistance) or some how paint or dye the current plastics. If the later is an option, it needs to be super flexible and abrasion resistant, as the bike does get hit by branches, dropped frequently, etc.
Anyone have links to info, tips, advice?
