Default Painting Ness Fairing?

Just picked up a ness fairing! Figured I'd get more responses in the dyna section lol.

Anyway in the future I'm going to have it color matched but for now I'm just going to rattle can in gloss black. Is there any specific best way to do it? Tips? Appreciate any and all help!

just prime it, sand it, spray it 8-10 inches away tape the outside of the windshield and spray the inside of it black to black it out...

Plasti-Dip, hands down, no contest. Wipe it down with mild alcohol, and spray it. If you want gloss, order a can of glossifier for it. Bam, done.
