maybe this isnt new, but i see so many great looking paint jobs on this site, but the black plastic still looks like 25 year old, sun beat, black plastic! ive been riding mine and i look at the dash and think, yuck! so i got a hair up my butt and squirted this on it and WOW, looks like brand new 25 year old plastic.says its made for plastic, rubber, wood, leather, i was careful not to hit the controls (slippery) but didnt mask off anything, just wiped her down after. didnt take much and NO prep. Teflon is carcinogenic (so is used motor oil) so take caution. it worked well on the other plastic, including the wind screen, time will tell if any bad side effects but for now, im real happy with the outcome!!!

Well i've finally made the decision to repaint my Venture. When I origionally thought of doing this, my father-in-law was going to loan me his garage and expertise. However with the economy the way it has been, half way through his rebuild of the garage he was let go from his job (downsizing) and hasn't finished the ventilation system for the paint stall. I was hoping by spring he would have it done but it isn't working that way. So off of a whim I decided to give a friend of mine a call, who now runs his families bodyshop. He said if we do all of the prep work, and wet sand and polish after it is painted, that he would paint any color (including candies or pearls) for $300.00 to $500.00 depending on weather he had to do any extra touch up work or not. So considering that the paint alone was going to cost me around $300.00 when I was pricing it out, I figured that having a professional paint job including paint and labor for $3-500.00 was awesome. I know the hard part is going to be the prep and finish work but We were going to have to do it all for that price. I was going to do the 2007 Venture blue and black, but now after looking at several different paint colors and bikes I am thinking of maybe a Black Pearl. I feel Chrome lends itself well to Black and vice versa, but that Black Pearl will give it that little extra ooooohhhhh aaaaahhhhh factor. I havent decided weather i'll have the blue or the white pearl added to the clearcoat yet, but I will make that decision when I get to the bodyshop next weekend. Now the bike is being torn apart, and hopefully by tomorrow we will be able to get started on the prep work. Big Mike........who's looking forward to a new paint color as much as spring!!!!!!!

I got Sharon a new Nolan helmet, but couldn't find one that fits my square head better than the one I have. So I'll just need to paint it shiny black. Does anyone know what type of paint, primer, prep, etc., I should use ??
