This is a crappy pic but I've painted my plastics pearl white, got some marvin shaws, and drag axle, and polished my rims :)....I have to say the paint came out flawlessly. I'll get some more pics up later when its sunny out.

ya them plastics look good. Did you use any flex additives or anything? Im assuming your bike wont see the woods/brush so should hold up good.

I never see woods, all we do is ride at the dunes or the drag strip. My buddy added a little flex agent to it...he works at a dealership and painted my stuff after hours :)

Its all automotive paint (RM I believe), we filled in some holes in the nose with epoxy and filler to get them nice and smooth. We then primed/sanded, sealed, sanded, then sprayed 2 coats of white base color, cadillac pearl white, then 2 coats of clear with some silver flakes added to the mix.

I haven't been able to bring it outside yet...I get home too late and the sun is already down but the flakes should really show up in direct sunlight :D
