Well I want to give the bike a little attention with some color. What kind of paints would hold up and look good and also what might be some sanding methods that would work well. One more thing what is some seat ideas that any of you had to go with a different color seat ? Thanks.

i paint cars for a living, so the plastics just need to be wet sanded with 400 grit sand paper, or sanded with 220 then primed then wet sanded with 400

and for a decent paint job that will last you need to go with a base coat clear coat

your probably looking at 50 or 60 bucks for idk a quart might do it if your getting limco or ppg,

then a good clear would be ppg or transtar, or nasons

theres alot of guides on the net
