That's it. I applied two coats of paint over two days...it dries super fast. And put 'er back together in about an hour and that's was it. Didn't have any trouble with the paint at all...sticks really well to the plastic. Once it's dry you can not tell that the plastic has been painted--it looks like the factory colored plastic. Just have to be careful at the gas station during fill-up…

Yes, Krylon Fusion is a great spray paint for plastic! The Safety Yellow you selected for your bike looks great. I experimented with the Krylon Fusion in Safety Orange, but it did not match the KTM Orange of my Polisport front fender. Therefore, I used Krylon Fusion for primer paint, and I finished the ABS plastic with a Valspar Orange I bought at Lowes.

It can be a difficult task to get a fuel tank to fit properly. Since the Zong is a Yamaha clone, I recommend the 4.1-gallon, Clarke fuel tank designed for the Yamaha XT225.

If you slightly modify a standard, H4, halogen bulb, it will fit perfectly in the stock, Zong headlamp assembly. I am very pleased with the 55W/60W, H4, halogen headlamp bulbs I am currently using in my Zong.
