Take your time with some sandpaper and a rattle can of flat black paint and you'll be a pro in no time.

Black Plasti-Dip will look pretty close and if you screw it up or don't like it - peel it off and try again.

This is what I did. Got the primed version of the 1/4 (which is also cheaper) and then hit it with plati dip (5-6 coats) and it is VERY close to the black denim.


Or if you are comfortable, just buy the black denim rattle can from HD and use that on it.

Yup, plasti-dipped my Dougz fairing along with my horn cover and whole chrome speedo assembly. Everything matches the denim perfectly.

You’re supposed to paint the inside. The outside will appear gloss black due to the clear of the windshield…..

Just buy a tinted piece off Amazon or eBay at this point. $23

I scuffed up my Memphis Shades Gauntlet then hit it with the John Deere Blitz Black (the older original run of cans, the newer ones are too glossy). My front fender is aftermarket too so its painted with the same. Pretty much an exact match for denim. I've since picked up a can of the Harley Denim black but have not yet tried it...

Just talk with your dealership about them painting it for you. Close, very close, and almost close is not the same as exact.
