Hello, my reflector between the rear lights is a bit blotchy, I have removed the reflector and the paint to the back has flaked off in places which cretes a patchy affect from the front, other than buying a new one can anything be done to repaint it?

cheers Dil (confused)

Hi Dil

I hve never had that happen to me.  I would suggest that you perhaps try lightly rubing the backing down to eliminate any ridges and then painting it again.  You will need to use a platsic primer though to make sure you have adhesi.

Have you got a picture to share?

Hi Pete, I ended up getting a NOS reflector from the states, as I was having no luck, and I looked at a few second hand ones which were going for around £100 but they were far worse than mine.
Expensive but looks great get some pic shortly,  :agree2:
