I'm up to eight of them now.
Stockade fence, electric wire top, and bottom, 10x30 chain link kennel, and a 10x10 air conditioned/heated dog house. They all live in my house tho. Go figure!

Every one of them is a natural born killer. No Joke. Same breed as my avatar... Presa Canario's

I gotta find a woman... HA!  I'll post up Picts tomorrow. Were all too tired

I painted the seat lid on my C3 2 years ago with Rust-Oleum Professional 15 oz. Protective Enamel Gloss Black Spray Paint from home depot.  I wanted a two tone scooter.  I was able to find the black front fender, but no luck on the seat lid.   I sanded real well with 220 and washed it with soap and water.  I primed with Rust-Oleum primer.  None of this paint was specific for plastic.   The panels are rigid enough that you do not need plastic paint.   The trick is getting your work area clean enough to avoid crap landing in the paint.  The second trick is to get the final coat on heavy enough to give you a good shine without running.   I ride the C3 3 or 4 days a week.  I have drug the painted area against the wood brick molding on my garage side door.  It has held up great.  Adhesion is perfect.  It is as shiny as the day I painted it.  Best part is the can is under $4.00 at Home Depot. 
Less chit chat, more riding.
