2013 street glide, midnight pearl painted inner fairing. One of the best cosmetic mods you can do. I don't get the glare complaint. I've never had any glare issue. Also got rid of the goofy faring mirrors. Put 12 inch apes on with Harley tribal mirrors. Changes the look of the bike. Now it looks the way it should have come from the factory.

I thought I was the only one who did that.

If you can do it cheap enough, alright.
That big of a deal though? I don't think so.
Mine is pewter and black anyway so it makes no difference to me.

Was most of the reason why I bought a SGS rather than the regular SG. I even accepted the stripes on the SGS to get the painted inner. As someone already said - the best cosmetic improvement you can do. JMO

I passed on a bike with a painted inner- the sun glare was murderous.
I would a been a baked potato on a long ride North like to Sturgis
flat black works better for me.
maybe i am over sensitive- I sometimes flip my gas filler cover open to reduce glare off the chrome, I don;t have chrome rings around my gauges or radio

Painted my inner fairing several years ago.Changing bars, so it only made sense to do it then. No glare issues, or any extra sunburn issues. Every year I spend weeks in the Southwest deserts. Lots of sun to be had.Last year Death Valley. Only 105 degrees. No problems with glare at all.Paint has also held up extremely well, still looks like new.Yeah, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
