Default New Pics with my Painted Covers, Bar Ends

I decided i wanted my case covers black to match the bike, so i gave it hell and it came out GREAT! I did a little research and knocked it all out in a day...I used high temp engine enamel for the painting. I left them both on the bike, took the fairings off, taped off EVERYTHING, scuffed it up and did about 3 or so coats...i let everything sit for 2 days just to be on the safe side...heres the pics i took today after a wash and hand glaze....

That's sweet man! Can you do a little more detailed write up of how you did it? Did you use a spray gun? What do you mean by scuffed it up? Can you give me a name of the exact product you used? That looks like another project on my to-do list over the upcoming winter months. BTW, how'd you get your headlight covers smoked?

Could you please respond to the forum "Does Honda Know" please. Seems like everyone doesn't believe us guys with the Corbin seats and how much of a difference they make. Also, great job on the all black. Love it.
