Title: Speedo Question
Post by mscepu101 on 07/20/12 at 16:48:49

I have noticed that my black plastic speedo bezel does not look as good as it did in the past due to extreme sunlight exposure.

Does any one have an idea on how to bring back the black luster and may protect it from damaging UVs?

I use SPF 30 to protect against damaging UV's, but nothing gives me luster in a speedo. ;D

Go to a copier repair place & ask if they have any old Fuser OIl containers,,Theyll ask, What Model,, tell them it doesnt matter, you just want silicone oil. Ive got some I paid 5$ a pint for, Dash boards, rubber seals, anything plastic you dont want wax on, just a tiny bit,on a rag, will spread quite a ways,

All of the major rattle can paint companies have plastic specific paints available. Lightly rough up the surface and spray away, several light coats. And as a bonus you get to choose a color. Don't have to go with the charcoal-ish grey color that mine seems to have been from when I got the bike.
