so i have a 2001 f4i i love the one thing i dont like about it is the air duct cover meaning been ugly black plastic.... has anybody painted them? how good with the paint job stay on that material?

i just love how it looks on the 2005 cbr 600rr wich is painted......

any ideas? if anybody did this please put some pics and how to...

thanks

and this is my bike...

 

People have painted them before. I've never really been a fan of them painted ever.

They also make them in carbon fibre, which is pure sexiness.

 

First off, you sir, have yourself a sweet lookin motorbike. Very nice.
Props.

Secondly, have a gander here:

They look great, but are fairly pricey.
Good luck with either route, and posts some pics of what you decide to do.

 

They would look so good on that white bike.

 

I plan on going with a CF one. I'm trying to find a cover you just put over them. No way in hell I'm paying 200 for "covers" Unless it replaces the whole thing, forget that.

 

No, it does replace both whole pieces. The pieces themselves are called air duct covers.

 

thansk i did put some work on it last winter
looking to put more work this winter starting with the air duct covers and powder coat the rims white and also a new paint job still white but maybe with some sparks or something on it....

also i saw one painted before the bike was parked and i never got to talk to the owner to c how he did it... and i just found a pic online it looks like this one is painted the bike looks really good...



i have no idea whos bike it is just found it online but you c how nice the orange covers look? thats a nice f4i im not a fan of the repsol wana be but the bike looks really good

 

Djpapo, that is one sexy ride.
I Dont mean to thread jack, but what color temp (e.g. 6000K) HIDs do you have? Looking to get some and yours look pretty killer.

 

That does look very nice.
Kinda elongates the tank, makes it look like it's integrated with the rest of the front faring.

I've always admired the Repsol look myself.

Now I'm wonderin how they would look painted white and on your motorbike.

 

I gotta say, that Repsol looks pretty nice to me. The powder coated wheels & other attention to detail, really make the bike look great.
