If you don't mind starting over, remove the paint down to the metal/plastic, prime with a 1 or 2 component epoxy primer, then a 2 part epoxy or polyurethane top coat. You used to be able to get 2 part epoxy & polyurethane Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) military surplus paint off sources on the 'Net, cheap. Comes in flat, semi gloss and gloss. It was painted on tanks and trucks in Operation Desert Storm, so that if the enemy dropped chemicals or poisons on us, they would wash right off. I've used it on 2 cars, a truck and a huge trailer. Gasoline, brake fluid and oil won't harm it. I used to wash the cars with Comet cleanser and that didn't affect it either. Once you use this, you are done painting the bike for life. I used to buy it from "Western Resources", but I don't see them on the 'Net anymore. They sold it by the quart or gallon, and for about $25.00 per gallon, but this was 5 years ago. Once mixed, you can apply it using the spray kits you can buy cheap at hardware stores. They consist of a refillable spray bottle and cans of pressured air, and a small spray head attachment. You pour the paint in the bottle, screw it onto the spay head, screw on the spray canister, and you have an instant spay can of your paint.
