You did right, that is awesome. The painted inner fairing is the best upgrade a guy can do.
......... and I've done several upgrades over the years. lol

When I had the inner fairing painted, my biggest fear was it would be too reflective being white. Has not been a problem, I get more glare off of the fuel fill cover than anything else. As stated previously, probably one of the best upgrades one can do.

Me and my bike have been down since my accident last September. I am expecting to be cleared to ride at the end of this month! My biggest goal was to get the inner fairing painted. (As well as clean up the wiring, add relays, etc.)
Using the incredible information in this forum, I tackled it myself. Got the fairing as well as the ignition switch housing (nacelle?) and the lower thigh heat shields painted to match the vivid black of my bike. I am just starting to put everything back together. will post some pics when done. (trying to keep sane while I can't ride during this outstanding weather and season we have had!)
Painted to match bike looks great!

They should come painted stock, for as much as we pay for the bikes.

I am getting my inner fairiing painted and I should be able to pick up the fairing and cap this coming week. A buddy and I took everything apart and i had the great idea to order bars and get them installed at the same time. Had no idea that the internal wires and cables was going to hit the wallet this hard. I'm going with 14 inch Meathooks! Might as well do it together than to have to go into this area a second time.

Thanks to all the info on this forum I got the nerve to tackle this project.
