Did you use a plastic paint? They will chemically bond to the plastic better than regular rattle cans. As far as getting a new set, depends on what you're going for. If you plan on riding it alot, then I'd say leave what you have on it.BUT, no matter what type of paint you use, you'll still get chips and peeling the more you ride it. As far as the toolbox...just keep searching, Honda doesn't make it anymore, but someone out there (probably on this forum) has a real nice or NOS one.
