In my work/business I work with a lot of laminates, veneers, acrylics, finishes and refinishing. Everything I do at work is pretty much related to kitchen refinishing. However, there are many parallels to the issues that you will be dealing with here. First and foremost; if you're fine with a $25.00 paint job just go ahead get yourself a couple of rattle cans and go for it. Otherwise, I recommend good quality paint work. That does not mean it has to be really expensive. If you remove the fairings, bags, whatever and make the needed repairs. Get them as good as you can and take the components to a body shop. It does not have to be one of those high dollar joints. I have found that some of the less expensive, Econo Bake, Facto-Bake type places actually do some pretty decent base coat/clearcoat spray work. After all they do a LOT of cars. They can likely mix/obtain the appropriate colors. Since you can get a fairly decent repaint on a whole car for under a grand, I'm guessing that a few hundred dollars will go along way if you carry the fairings, etc. to them. And when you consider that your other option is DIY and rattle cans anything you get from most any body shop will light-years ahead. You may have only spent a few thousand on the bike, but you don't want it to end up looking like a $700 ride. Your love of your 'cycle will not ever be the same. As far as the repairs go use acrylic powder/liquid. This fuses/melts the plastic together and fills cracks and holes. You are looking for products that contain polymethyl methacrylate powder and ethyl methacrylate monomer (fluid). These are the main components of the abs, acrylic repair kits that you can fabricate/replicate broken tabs etc. You can find those here http://www.plastex.net/COMPLETE_KITS.php. I think there is video instruction on their site. But what is more readily available at Wally's, Kmart, Walgreen's, CVS are Acrylic nail kits http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/kiss-complete-salon-acrylic-nail-kit/ID=prod364939-product. The nail glue is excellent, also and colors are available in some brands. The nail tips are made of ABS...ring any bells? And one HUGE bonus is that if you don't gave any guitar picks you can make one of those special fingernail tools for installing the Sirius Diaphragms! But, unless you've been hanging out in a nail salon for some reason, you will not likely be acquainted with the application of acrylic powder/liquid. Your wife, daughter, girlfriend, er...boyfriend, whomever can likely be of help. Otherwise, there are YouTube Video tutorials on acrylic nails. Of course you need to use your imagination. And there is a bit of technique involved. Play around with it a little and you'll get the hang of it. If you need patch material for broken tabs or pieces, I have used many different kind of plastic with these products; abs, plexiglass, the case from 3.5" floppy disks, even that clear packaging that is hard as all get-out to remove... the packaging that the kit comes in will probably work, too... just try a sample of various plastics. You'll know right away. If works, it works, If it don't, it don't! There will be no mistake. Once you get your feet wet you can find the powder and liquid (don't laugh!) in most beauty supply stores. And of course you want to use good maintenance/repair practices such as stop-drilling cracks and use appropriate primers, etc. Good luck.

I always wave, nod, something. Im afraid that if I needed assistance the only one to pass by would be the one that I DIDNT wave at!
