thanks for the help man. but dang now im in a pickle. when first reading that kawi dude dye i wanted to do it, but as i read on a lot of people just got a smoke color, then the kawi guy said his disk cover didnt hold well. idk i still may do it, see how it turns out, then if its grey just krylon fusion paint it black, that way if it chips there will still be a darkish color under. i already have a black rear fender, and i just ordered acerbis black side # plates, black fork guards, and a green front # plate. im getting my rims and hubs anodized black, along with possibly my triple clamps, shift/brake pedals, clutch/front brake levers, and maybe even sprockets black. i might do the hubs green, but i need to see some pics first. this local company is anodizing anything i want on my bike for $78 total! but yeah thats why i want those little plastics black. it might look dumb with all black and green, then a couple white plastics.
