    Air box paint

    I will be putting the stock air box in ( I hope ) my GS1000S project.

    May as well have it looking good!

    Can anyone recommend a good paint or is there something else that can be done to get it looking good?

    Amorall maybe. Does your model have the chrome covers? If so wouldnt be much air box showing

      rather than spraying it i would give it a dam good scrub then use a black plastic trim polish. not sure what it may be called over your side of the world but here in the UK its known as: BACK TO BLACK, BUMPER AND INTERIOR TRIM RESTORER

      Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

        i have sanded my bodywork on my CR500 to get it pretty and there isnt anything really that does a great job of making the plastic smooth as factory finish. Tried heat/flame, plastic polish and real real fine sandpaper and all ends up not as good as factory. But thats here lol.

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

            This is gas and chemical resistant POR15 and BLACKCOTE from same. did my tank and plastics with both. Five coats brushed por 15 and four coats blackcote spray can. Got to cure at least 72 hour. Would have done air box but didn't know what paint was going to use when removed.
