I have not seen that available in a rattle can, but it is routine for autobody shops, who use it on bumpers and airdams and spoilers made of ABS plastic or fiberglass/carbon fiber. Possibly a custom motorcycle shop could do it.
Aluminum needs special primers for good adhesion.
Good luck, the yellow/red combo does sound like it would both look right and achieve visibility in your area.
Good idea! Thanks. That sounds like an easy (though I'm guessing not all that cheap) way to get exactly the color I want done right. I'll get some brand new fenders to go that route. (Some of my dollars going to EU Germany while the Trump trade wars are being waged. Interesting. More $$s going to a very local small business.)
