I bought my bike with some small road rash on the alternator/stator cover (whatever it is called) it looks like the paint has just been scraped off smooth and no damage to the cover (deep gouges deep sckratches). I was just thinking about repainting it,

What paint works best?
Should it be primed?
should it be clear coated?
Flat or satin?

 

take it off, scuff up and paint with bbq paint and put it back on
or have it powdercoated

that small of a part wont be that expensive

or just get a CF cover for it

like the CF idea, where can i find one and how much?

 

BBQ paint was my first idea, i just wasn't sure if it needed to be primed. or how it needed to be preped.

 

go to 1000rr.net and look up mrgrn

he has a small carbon fiber business making this stuff
i dont remember how much

or go to his website

is the pic you sent a cover you have on your bike?i ask becauseI am thinking about maybe getting the side heat shield he offers too,does heat effect the carbon covers at all? discoloring in the clear coat or anything like that?

 

???

 

powder coated mine--25 bucks

 

The cover has been sanded and painted
