Painting A Hawk
Just wondering if any of you Hawk riders has attempted to paint their plastics to make it a different color.

I'm not a Hawk owner, but I have been painting my Zongshen Sierra 200 for about seven years. At the moment, I am also painting my Zongshen RX3.
I highly recommend Krylon Fusion spray paint. It doesn't require a primer, fuses to the plastic, coats well, comes in a nice variety of colors, and is inexpensive. http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion-for-plastic/ You can buy Krylon Fusion spray paint at Walmart, Ace Hardware, Fred Meyer, and many auto parts stores.

Unfortunately, my Zongshen ZS200GY-2 (Sierra 200) is no longer being manufactured. I'm glad I bought the bike, new-in-the-crate, in 2008. It is a great little motorcycle.

Been looking at the Hawk 250. These appear to be a decent bike. Have not decided for sure just yet. Need more good reports on them before I make up my mind.

Don't forget, also pick up a can of the fusion gloss clear over the color.
