Decided to give the 400 a new shine. wet sanded it down first with 400 grit, 1000 grit, then 2000 grit. I used some plastic renew after that. Then to prep the plastic i used some reducer to clean the plastics of all debree and any residue or oils. Then i used bully dog adhesion promoter, After the promoter cured i used some clear coat with a flexible additive so not to crack when stressed!! I think it turned out pretty good!! would have liked it to have been a little warmer so i could have sprayed the clear a little thicker and smoother!! Overall its not half bad for 30$

Let me know what you think!!

Too much work looks good though. I just use spray silicone and it works pretty good. Keeps the dirt off when I ride and makes it clean up easy.
