Actually I use DuPont paints when I do customers jobs. They have a factory pack color that is a very deep black - Super Jet Black - that matched the HD Vivid Black. I had some in stock from when I painted the wifes car. The fairing NEEDED to be painted even though the gelcoat comes black it is a faded black and needed some work to the outer edges of the fiberglass.
CHEYENNE: I agree 100% on the shorty. I had plans of getting both a taller clear windshield and a shorter smoked one. After riding it today the 7" that's on it now did a fine job in deflecting the wind. So looks like I will start searching for a good smoked shorty for when the warmer weather rolls around.

Here is a great place for buying windshields. I have bought 2 from them, great customer service and the extended wings make a big difference in the ride. http://www.customflhtwindshields.net/index.htm
I think it looks great, heck, I almost bought one for my Heritage, and also started to put on the hardbags, glad I didn't though, the EG is better in my opinion.
Anyway, looks awesome.
