I got a broken blue fender:


I repaired it with special glue and repairing paste for plastic, and marked the cutting lines; plastic surgery style.


Once cut out with an electric saw like this one and using heavy sandpaper to make the borders smooth...



...I relocated the holes about 3/4" higher, to reduce the clearance fender-tyre.


I only used light sandpaper to remove the older coating, no primer. Then, I painted it matt-black with a regular bodywork spray.


Also, the front fork has been painted with the same spray.


Notice that the front side is longer than the rear, although the fender is reversible now.
