Would it be a good/stupid idea to paint fairings with Rhino bedliner stuff.
Pros and cons?

pros:
indestructible (almost)
unique

cons:
might look like ****
over heating (maybe)

 

I have never understood why someone would want to do that. But Hay to each his own right l

 

I think it would be heavy and might be rough on your skin, like where your knees meet the tank

 

To each his own.

Inexpensive & easy to apply uniformly, & durable?...yes.

Attractive as an overall outer paint surface?...not especially.

More functional than anything else.

Best use I've seen for it on bikes is the undertail/FE.

If you like it, that's all that matters.

 

depends -- could look okay, or be oh-so-wrong.

I think it would look like crap, but that's just my opinion. But, I also never understood why someone would paint a bike/car/truck flat black (or any other flat color) unless they were trying to hide a really uneven pannel or bad prep-work. Personally, I prefer my finished surfaces to be polished and glossy.

 

truck bedliner only belongs to the bed of a pick up truck... why dont you guys just say it....:P

 

I've thought about using it on the inside of the fairings as a noise damper and
to clean up the repair-signs (fiber-glass and bondo). I could see it on the frame,
that would add a hip look, imo. But, I'm gonna weigh in on the majority, I like a
gloss, to show you meant it. I can dig it for the details, though.

It certainly wouldn't be the first time someone did it. Here is the photo and the post.

guys on other forums have done it.... but it's mostly on bikes that double as a street and track bike so when they lay it down on the track, they can come home and fix it real easy.... never heard of any problems over-heating.
