St1100 grey plastic refurb

ssray · Aug 31, 2015

Evening(here anyway)
my stood for over 18months st1100 project is on the road, some of the grey p[astic bits need a bit of brightening up, what can i use? i`m assuming that unless I use a bumper type paint this will flake off or should I use something like amorall?

SEM ColorCoat Flexible Coating # 15303 Graphite is a perfect match and very durable. I've used it on my ST1100s and you cannot tell what's painted new from original - as long as you don't 'overspray' or spray on too heavy.

Neatsfoot Oil will bring make it look almost new for a little while. Good stuff.

A product called Wipe New works amazingly well. It's available at Wally World and other auto parts stores for about $15. I did my black plastic 15 months ago still looks like last week.

I've used Meguiar's Ultimate Black with good results.

Aerospace 303. The beST. But if you're painting, Uncle Phil mentioned the right stuff. I always wonder if any paint will stick to a plastic surface that's been treated with a silicone product. N.B.

I use Turtle Wax Black Carnauba Wax. I have used this on several ST's now and am very happy with the results. It does make the Gusto Grey a bit darker, and honestly I prefer it that way.

Can you get Back-To-Black in the UK? It works well on my ST1300. Linky

I second the wipe new product it works wonders. I did the fenders on my jeep over a year ago and it still looks new.
