[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1461482, member: 19880"] AFAIK, the plastics are ABS material. This will NOT do well at 230°F. ABS plastic dissolves in acetone. You could (carefully) put a drop on the inside of the panel, wait a minute and wipe with a Q-tip to see how it reacts to confirm the polymer. PVC is less commonly used for motorcycle parts and (depending on the variety) MIGHT have a higher softening temperature. (PVC reacts less to acetone than ABS so that might help with the ID.) I don't think that any sort of powdercoat is the safest way to handle it. What year (color) is the bike? Wondering if a contrasting color might look OK - easier to paint if you don't need a color match. [/QUOTE]
