    Angus, you will have to translate some of your thoughts into English.

    "Theater"??

    Which "plastics"?

    I do understand that "clocks" would be the speedo and tach.

        It's not really matte or gloss, more of a semi gloss

          And your probably REALLY meant to say "whether", but at least we know what you are asking about now.

          Can't say that I have seen 'new' clocks lately to evaluate the sheen on them, but I think it's safe to say they were NOT gloss.

                    Mother's Back to Black really did mine justice. Not sure I'd want to paint them unless they were otherwise destroyed.

                        I just sprayed some Duplicolor Trim and Bumper paint on the inside of my little fairing last night. Nice stuff.

                              Lots of painting in a short period of time. What were the products specifically?
