Does anyone know where i can find a black windshield for my 1/4 fairing. I've heard of people painting them but really want it to look good. Thanks

 

I looked around before I did mine, you can make it look good with plastic/metal paint from krylon. Its easier than you think, I painted the inside of mine so the ouside still looks smooth.

 

did you sand it first? primer? Do you have any pics of it upfront? i looked everywhere and couldn't find any. Thanks

 

you can make your own.1/4"acrylic sheet can be formed in a oven.do not use plexiglass as is too brittle.many shades of colors including no see through black.cut sheet from template made from old windshield.heat sheet in oven 300 degrees 3-4 minutes use old windshield as a form with cotton flannel sandwiched between as a barrier.made this one for hiway rides works well

 

Right on ged533! Never thought of making my own. Its worth a shot! If I do it I will post pics. Thanks

 

I painted mine with a rattle can it came out good. If you paint the inside it looks tinted, if you paint the outside it looks painted, either way its easy. no need to sand it just a feew coats will do.

 

Sorry I don't pics of it straight on, I didn't sand it or use primer, just used the all purpose spray paint like he said ^^. Good luck.

 

Painted my stock shield on the inside with krylon for plasic matte black to match inside of fairing. Came out perfect. just clean with dawn dish soap and mask off outer edge and the front. NO sanding or pimer.

 

Man those fairings look sick I need one on my bike. hey frisco did you powerdercoat those wheels? How did they come out on the finish??

 

Yeah i powder coated them. I did it almost a flat black. I wish i did it a glossy black though. They are nice, they really take a beating but don't get scratched much. Also they are super easy to clean unlike the cast ones.
