So the plastics on my bike are quite dull and fairly scratched, and i was wondering what would be the best, easiest way to make them look better? i have thought about respraying or vynal wrapping and was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions and what would give the best results? cheers, jake
how long does it take to do it that way? its just i dont wana put tonnes of effort into to making them like new only to scratch them falling off green laning :P cheers
Ive got some up here - http://dt125r.activeboard.com/t47017051/black-1999-dtr-d/ The pics are the ones that were on ebay but ill be getting some up to date one up soon :D
im gonna make it a project :) theres a fair few thing that i want to get for it and i think im gonna strip it once the bad weathers out of the way and get the fame and swing arm powder coated
im not sure how long it should take but im on the the polishing stage and my plastic is really smooth but it dont seem to be polishing up? ive done about 3 coats using halfords cutting compound and about 3 coats of autoglym super resin polish. its improve the finish a bit but it doesnt seem to be coming up shiney much more? :S hope someone can help lol
Thought I'd try and polish up my panels today, so I used Sonus tyre and bumper dressing gel I have for detailing the car, brought them up as new, deffinately reccomend, I'll put a couple of pics up tomorrow when its daytime.
Dunno Karnie, only thought I'd try it on the panels last night mate, but on the car plasticss, etc, about a couple of weeks depending on weather/road crud.
Also found out today if you don't buff it after applying, and just let it dry, its like glass.
