Okay guys and gals, I want to replace my black plastics with a different color. I'm curious as to how the trans blue would look with amber wheels. Anybody have this combo? I'd love to have just the solid blue, but finding those pieces is like pulling teeth. |

Did you try getting a price from Appleton Buell of Wisconsin in the sponsor section? They are usually pretty responsive. |

Hey Ceo, what are we planning on doing with the black ones?? I could be interested in taking them off of your hands... ~I would then have yellow ones not doing anything, if that means anything to anyone... Alex |

Why don't you just paint the black ones? |

I'm really trying to avoid painting. For me it would be easier and cheaper to find some good used ones or maybe even new ones. I haven't checked with any dealers yet, but looks like I may have to. Valiant, I'm not sure what I'll do with my current plastics, but it'll be July at the earliest when I make that decision. That's when I'll be back in the states. |

Ceo, I have wanted black ones for a while. I think black and silver would look nice, so when you decide, you remember my name and hit me up; just let me know what you want for them. Thanks, Alex |

So how hard is it to just paint the current plastics another color? I have 2 sets of white plastics.. Do i need to do any thing to them first? Or can i just grab a can of spray paint and start painting? |

If you paint 'em, you have the same problem owners of other brands have: Scratches show right up!! Oh, and you can't paint the solid colors to "Translucent Blue" which is what the original poster was looking for. (Message edited by Jaimec on April 03, 2009) |

If you paint them, and you do not want scratches to show as easy. Go to a piant store, and get an XIM primer, they are made to bond to metal, plastics, glass, and pretty much anything. I believe you can get it in spray can, You might have to sand the primer down smooth after you spray it. But Ive had mine done for about 1k miles and it has not got one scratch on it since its been painted. |

Anyone ever paint white under the transparent colors? Might look cool & have some great depth. |

Oddsc: I'd suggest silver instead... |

I'm currently painting a set of red plastics flat black with black Linex flames. First time I've done anything like this so it'll be interesting to see well it all holds up. BTW I do have a set of Thrust Blue plastics with stock amber lettering like Ceo79 is actually looking for. |

Valiant, I'll keep you in mind. Buellinator, PM sent. Froggy, thanks for the pic. Don't think I'm sold on the Trans blue. Hopefully I can work out something with Buellinator to get the solid blue ones. Thanks guys. |

I don't really like the solid blue and amber combo. But the trans blue and amber really catches my eye. |
