I presume that the existing colour is not a painted finish, so can you do anything to brighten up the colour?... |
Thank you for the excellent advice, WG.
My Zongshen motorcycle employs three types of plastic. The black side panels, with the 3 circular depressions, are constructed of flexible plastic, with the color molded into them.

The fender is constructed of a tough, flexible, clear plastic. It is painted to achieve the final color. The rear quarter panels, tailpiece, headlight cowl, and tank plastic, are constructed of harder, more brittle plastic. These plastic pieces are also painted.
The Krylon Fusion paint is reported to be flexible, and resistant to rock chips. Therefore, I believe I can change the Zong's color scheme. However, refreshing the Zong's orange paint is probably the safest course to follow.
