Hey fellas,
Just a quick update. I have got my plastics from ebay ($45 all up). All i have done so far is sand the plastics slightly and then put the primer on. Im still trying to find the colour of paint i want, ill go to a auto spares place this week some time and ask about it. Once i get the paints it should only take like half a week so hopefully i will be done next week sometime.
thanx for all the help :)
 
Its nearly finished, all i gotta do is prime the rims and paint em black. I had a few problems the more major one was that i put some masking tape down to stop any of the black paint going anywhere else on the plastics while i was spraying the stripes. When i pulled the masking tape off it pulled of flakes off gold paint. I had to colour match )as best i could) all the spots that got fu$#ed up. Over all i think i recovered it well. I also pulled the fork protector stickers off and put some new ones on and i also took the front plate sticker off and covered it in others. This was a bitch to do coz i had to get all the sticky crap off with petty which took like 1 hour.
Heres a couple of pics of it without the rims painted.

HaHa, you just gotta stick to it. It was nearly ruined when the masking tape ripped all the base paint off, i got so pissed off but i kept at it and tidied it up as best i could.
 
That looks really good mate! Well done... Look forward to doing mine now!
