Application Description

At Buell Motorcycles, doing things differently has always meant focusing on performance-oriented design and manufacturing engineering. So it's no surprise they took an innovative approach to body parts, by switching to molded-in color instead of painted materials.

Today, Buell's high-gloss, molded-in-color fenders, farings and other body parts help the company make its reputation for innovation stick, and give customers a more worry-free finish.

DuPont® Surlyn Reflections® molding resins produce color that goes through-and-through, reducing bike returns for perceived paint flaws, and eliminating the energy and emission control costs associated with painting in the first place.
