I still think its gonna look weird to sling a motorcycle in the back of your G. Your gonna rub like crazy. These cars were not designed to have like 400lbs just sitting over the rear wheels.

If you go flat black use Duplicolor Fabric and Vinyl coating: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/vinyl.html

Makes a very nice satin finish:



You don't have to prime, it's really easy to use, and very tough. The other day my sister dropped my key-chain on the console and it didn't scratch or chip at all.
Just prep with rubbing alcohol and lightly sand with 600 if needed (sanding usually optional)

Sorry man, should have warned you better. I've made that mistake, never prime with this stuff. I know that doesn't seem to make sense, but it's much better if you don't use primer with it. It's really nothing like any other paint, almost like a dye. All you need to do is just sand off the primer to the bare plastic, sand the plastic with 600 or 800 until smooth. Make sure it's clean, wipe down with denatured alcohol (91% rubbing alcohol works good) let dry. Then just do lots of thin coats with the DupliColor until you get an even color. Make sure you let it dry, sometimes you'll think it's even, then it will dry a little blotchy, but all you have to do is just hit it with 1 or 2 more coats and it will dry even.
HTH.
