Painting My Bike
I just bought a black07 600RR and am looking to paint the right and left side gray mid fairings black. Does anybody know the best way togo about this? I read something in here on spray paint, but am leary of that idea. Or is there somewhere to buy replacements for cheap? Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

If you want to do a rattle can job, you CAN make it look like a very good quality, it is just going to take some effort. Look around online for a detailed rattle can technique. Basically it is(not in this order):
CLEAN parts
Sand Parts
Paint thin layers of color (3-5)
Wet sand (1200grit)
Clear coat (5 layers)
Buff
Polish
If you take your time and be precise with it you can make it look gorgeous.
The other options is to take the fairings off, bring then to a paint shop and have them color match the black and paint it. You will save money by bringing them the fairings.
