I planned on getting some silver plastics (won't show the scratches as bad) and paint the frame a metallic blue and the engine high temp gloss black with the endges of the cooling fins sanded to bare aluminum for a contrasting look. But yeah I would never paint the plastics, thats just plain ghetto.
On a side note, I found a 250x in northern Va that I will probably trade the kx125 for. Just needs a new piston and bore/hone.

Still open to offers! (would rather find a 300ex or blaster)
