Having a few issues with the primer sticking to the styrene i have used on the rear fenders, so i started on the interior and swore a little.. And got the black base cote on the tanks, before i hit them with the chrome.

I've been worried about that very problem of finding a styrene I can bend for my guards that the paint will like. Apparently it could be an issue especially with masking? Interior looks good, love the gearstick!

I can recommend the duplicolour clear plastic primer, just a couple light coats before your normal primer and away you go

Thanks very much, but your doing a mighty fine job by your self, but i'm sure your ol' boy knows the secret to doing that effect, hit him up next time your painting.... Today, i got the majority of the paint down, just needs a good block and polish, and lots of BMF and chrome.. ( The real color is probably in between the two pics, i have to come up with a way of getting the right light to show it properly for final pics. )
