Ok,
Engine bulid up is done, BUDGET rear axle kit is on, just need new track, BMP's pipe and muffler ( Maybe )
But what to do with all white marks on the panels?!!! Do I need new panels, or have the rest of you guys come up with reasonable fix for the marks on these panels?

you can try heat, when I used to ride Yamaha sport wheelers, I would use a heatgun on the fenders whenever she went for a tumble, and it removed the discoloring by about 90%, maybe try a small corner first...

I like them, they have the Levi's stone washed look. You would have to pay big bucks to get look in Beverly Hills

Have those been bent or something?

Stone washed, I like that, just not the looks!
Nope, never been bent. In fact, they started dooing that after the fist ride when I got it.
Might give the heat a try and see what goes POP
Thanks

What about the storage cover? Mine rubs my painted panels in those areas when I tow it covered on an open trailer.

No cover anymore. Throw it in a box these days, and drive away.
It is mostly on the left panel, as some might say, it is from opening and closing the panel a 100 times a ride to tweek on it! Nah, that can't be it!

Yes, I thought about going the paint route. Whats the prep like, and kind of paint to use. I painted many in the older days, but that was then.

Kovs,
I think the secret is out, so regardless what I tell them, they will know. That's Smitty, still can't ride!
But, I'll have trying!

So, all you guys that painted, what type of paint and what prep work is involved. Still have my HVLP in storage!!
