Hi all!

I’m wanting some opinions.

I have a 2000 klr650. The plastics are pretty faded, so I’m trying to decide whether I should take them off and paint them, or pay the almost $500 for new ones.

I’ve never painted anything automotive before, and I’d want it to look like the new ones I could buy.

Let’s hear your opinions!

    Necopost…

    You can absolutely paint them such that they’ll look good. Even with rattle cans.

    Top coat with a pair of two part (“2K”) clear coat. You can buy this at better auto parts stores, or online. You can get it in a rattle can - no spray gun necessary. Prep is everything. Prime and sand, sand, sand, sand. If you want it to be smooth, sand some more.
