I know he's not that active anymore but I was wondering if his screen is painted or is it stock? I saw a Blackbird today with a aftermarket screen that had been painted black (black bike) and it also looked excellent.

If it is a paint job is any special paint required?

If you paint the inside of the screen you can use most enamel paints. Roughen it a bit to ensure it sticks, with some water paper.....Don't use any thinners.......

Ah thanks, I have some Tamiya lexen spray paint (I'm a model car hobbiest), was thinking about using it as it's resistant to heat/moisture and easily flexes without cracking/crumbling.

THe Screen is Original from PUIG with no "paintjob"

Nice Kwaka!

I painted the screen anyway, turned out pretty good IMO

Hope it's just the saturation on the photo, and you didn't paint your bike PINK, did you Coopz ?
Screen looks good.
