I'm beyond jealous right now by the way... less than half what I paid and ya got another piece painted! Now I might need to steal your idea, it looks awesome, but aren't you worried about rocks and such chipping the lower fairing?
I'll pm you in a week and see how it's holding up against the elements before I shell out some bills

todays change
well i got to work today and the painters told me that silver would look better cuz it flows with the bike better. Well they painted the seat cowl today for me and they tinted my windscreen. Heres the pic. And I asked the painters about rocks chipping the paint on the lower fairing and they said they added stuff into the paint so that it wouldnt come chipping off like a banana peel. And our paint supplier didnt have the paint code for the bike neither so they came to the shop with this paint matching machine thingy majiggy. My windscreen was sprayed by the painters with some transparent/translucent whatever paint.

Well I work at a auto body shop and the painters owe me lots cuz of all the times i worked on their cars, I was suprised they even wanted me to pay for lunch. I wouldnt worry too much about the paint coming off if they scuffed/cleaned the part really well to remove oil/grime/armorall/guts/blood. Then put some sealer on it before throwing paint on it. Ask them maybe throw some rock guard in the front section of the fairing where the rocks would be hitting, then slap the paint on. Extra clear for some protection too if you want. But ive seen them do stuff like this before and never had paint problems or complaints from customers. We do body kits and custom work for cars here too.I'm beyond jealous right now by the way... less than half what I paid and ya got another piece painted!

Thanks all for the help. I dont think I need to powder coat my wheels now since my wheels kinda flow with the rest of the bike now. But ill remember this whenever I decide to totally redo the whole bike's paint scheme. So what do u guys think of the new silver seat cowl vs the red one. I like the red one but the silver is growing on me too. But the painters were right the silver does kinda flow with the bike. Now if only they make turbos for this bike
I would have painted the rear sides red and kept the red seat cowl I think. I always thought they had too much silver with the red colorThanks all for the help.

I'm kind of on the fence... I like both but I'm leaning towards the silver.Thanks all for the help.
