I'm mulling through the idea of refubing inner mudguards / airbox , undecided which paint to use probably a spay paint for plastic?, gloss or satin.......the units are in reasonable condition but when offered to the bike seems to let it down a tad! Question is , any of you guy's got some recommendations please cheers  |

Hi
I used sol-X flex filler 3 in 1 rattle can after recommended on here, goes on great looks good but maybe you lose a little on definition.

Try Autoglym vinyl and rubber care first before you paint them. Mine came up really good and didn't need to paint. If I remember correctly I sprayed it on and allowed it to soak for several hours before buffing it up.  I did put them through the dishwasher first though!...  |

Jumpstart, you have a few choices here. I have on a couple of occasions used plasticoat super satin on plastic parts. Never been disappointed - even after a couple of years later.
