Air jordan, nice job. Use paint thats meant for plastics its more flexible & forgiving if your plastics bend.

Jordan, you need an epoxy based paint to do plastics. However, any paint will eventually crack, the epoxy based seems to last longer. If I were you I would just hit the fenders with some steel wool and Armor All. That should bring a nice shine back to the plastics. If you are determined to paint, go to a local bike shop and order PJ1 paint. They have paints that match factory Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Suzuki colors.

stud told you pj1 has your factory colors. If you dont have a bike shop close by, goto rockymountainatv and I believe they sell it. look at my 225 front fender in my profile pics. this is how you fix cracks until you can replace. save some money up for those fenders

Go hear http://www.pj1.com/ then mouse over the circle above the left ring finger and it says "Dealers" then click on your state. You may have to call a shop and order it.
