Re-blacking inner fairing
2010 ultra and like its owner it’s aging.
inner fairing is showing wear in usual spots like ignition, light switches etc.
i wanna bring it back to black....sorta like my hair!
whats the best solution? Don’t want to have to touch it up every time I wash it and don’t want to send it in for painting.
ideas??
thanks

two ways, do it right or "the other"
if it is plastic use a plastic paint like krylon fusion. its carrier will etch into the substrate.
if it is fiber glass you can use an epoxy or a little more involved gel coat
if it is metal, powder coat
if aluminum, there is anodizing, had my forks done 20+ years ago and still are acceptable.
the right would be to remove the assy for a complete job, the other spot treatment.
anywho, plan on keeping it awhile, then some beer, work bench and some music and get-r done!

Wear your wear with pride! Fill her up, take her for a ride until you need to refill, by way of an apology for having such thoughts, then ride back home for your favourite beverage. Continue drinking until such thoughts finally evaporate.....
