    Default Plastic dash and fog light pieces are ash colored

    ... from sitting in the sun. Just like the plastic on cars. I have in the past used a heat gun and made circular motions until the plastic melted again and turned a nice black. But the uniformity over the fender wasn't too great - but it was permanent!! Or I was too lenient on the heat! I see a couple off the shelf "make-it-black-again" products. How about paint? Anyone tried prepping with a strong solvent that "digs into" the plastic a bit then paint?

    Gonna be pulling these parts this weekend. THought I'd ask the vast pool of knowledge that hangs around here!!

    2008 GS silver/black Valentines Day gift for the missus. She wanted her own bike!

    Thanks!

    Default Thanks!

    @Pete: 2008 GS. Still would be parts of dash exposed, doesn't cover the driving light fixtures. However - I'm on my second spyder with your dash kit! Current is 2016 RTS Red with your carbon fiber dash kit - looks awesome! Got the same for my White 2013 ST-LTD. Wife is looking at your blue dragon wrap kit at the moment for her black/silver GS


    @Joel: That's what I was looking for! Something to last a while.


    Thanks!
    Steve
