Default Painting a windshield

I recently added a 2" over stock shield to my RG. I can say its the best of function with little form. I was thinking that maybe by painting the lower 6" of the shield the same color as the bike, that It may break up the lines a bit to give it more flow. Any suggestions or photoshop pics would be great.

I don't think I've ever seen one painted. I have seen them with vinyl. If I was going to paint one I think I would just rattle can it. I don't know what color of red you have but victory red duplicolor truck paint looks like a close match. Most you could do is ruin a shield.

...... i have seen some photos of painted shields on RG's & my thought is always .. why ?
....the designs / different lines never seem to add to the look
.... now, the HD flamed shield ? THAT works.
