Have you painted your inner fairing?
I have some black pearl paint left over from repainting a saddlebag and I'm thinking about painting the inner fairing on my 06 roadglide as a winter project. If you have done it, what tips/advice can you offer? I have the HD service manual to follow for fairing removal but they don't always show the best way to do something, so is there a better way to take it off the bike? Also, how did you prep the fairing before you painted it?
Thanks.
Thanks.

All I found was posters who said they sent theirs to a painter. I plan to do it myself. If there's a thread about surface prep, primer, number of coats, etc, I'm missing it. If you have that info or can point me to that thread I would certainly be in your debt.
Thanks

I wished that there was someone out there that could offer a swap program, Send one in and recieve your custom color back. Looks like an opportunity for someone that has the resources readily available. Hum????

I am painting my inner fairing along with my bike this winter. But my painter knows all the tricks not me.

You don't need a primer coat, just this spray can to prep it. If I remember I'll grab the can when I'm at the shop tomorrow and get back to you.
