hi guys, first post Smile

i have just started to rebuild my old mtx125, iv chosen ford radiant red to spray all the plastics and the tank. It really looks good, with my bike looking pretty much similar to yours i feel your bike would look good in a similar colour mate

I would have suggested buying paint specially designed for plastic rather than using automotive spray can paint, dirt bike plastics are soft and very prone to flexing (tank shrouds flex in the wind when you ride) and rattle can paint dries very brittle.

If you are using air equipment to paint with you can usualy get away with car paint, you just get a plastic additive to stop the paint going brittle, oh and an adhesion promoter first on any bare plastic to stop the new paint peeling off.
