Chopper Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I had similar issues when I was working on my TD. Have you tried Krylon fusion? I also prepped the cabling by giving it a wipe down with a little acetone and then let it dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaunPug Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 There is also a special Plastic prep primer that can be used. I use this on my helmet builds as well. It was recommended to me by Constantin and is quite helpful. It dries clear as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I didn't have to paint mine. I was able to snag a old phone from a flea market with grayish cord. Then I wrapped it around a light weight hydraulic hose. I can't remember the OD off the top of my head. Striders caps fit it perfect. Also I used the coil type wire. Made it a lot easier.
