well, if it ever decides to stop raining down here i'll finish up and post pics....but seriously since everyone is a genius and doesnt need advice, i wont bother with the how too.

the only real advice i had to give anyhow is "if youre a douchebag, ride fast and take chances.....in the rain"

For every genius douchebaghere there are 10 green-horns that dont know jack. Come on man post the how-to. I know I would like to see it. I rashed my fairings and plan to repair this winter during downtime. People like me NEED this.

+1 On continuing the How To. Ignore the "fly's in the ointment" and keep up the good work for us that want to learn. I'd love to get some good information from you here... I'm probably going to be getting another bike, or at least track-fairings for my cbr soon and I don't want to pay someone else to paint them... and since I don't have acess to an air compressor anymore, all I've got acess to is rattlecans. Keep going!

I think he gave up on the how-to. I just did a search in the how-to section on painting and there seems to plenty of info if anybody needs some direction. Here is one http://domlnator.tripod.com/id21.html

Here's 3 p's for ya...

1. Perserverance (you give up to easily)
2. Patients (the tutelage of knowing how to salvage your own situation)
3. Preparation (for when your thread gets hated on)
