Title: is it possible to get fairings painted before monday? Post by: sh on July 23, 2009, 08:37:41 AM never tried to get fairings professionally painted before, but my last rattle can attempt was a disaster. I don't need pretty, just quick and cheap (matte black). before I go searching for a shop is this even possible? I need them by sunday evening at the latest.

Post by: duckwrench13 on July 23, 2009, 08:44:38 AM This time of year it'll be hard to find a paint shop that isn't booked out a few weeks, minimum. If you need it PDQ, rattle can is the best option. There's a handy little doo-dad you can find in the paint section of most hardware stores, for about $5-10. It's a pistol grip style handle & trigger that just pops onto the spray can, and allows you to have far better control over your spray technique. I've used them dozens of times, and for the few $ extra you spend on it, you can really good results. And if you're just looking for a simple, quick & easy solution, it's the way to go.

Any chance you can just run the bike with primer-finish on the fairings for now and paint later when you can get to a shop? It'll be easier for a pro to do the work if you have not rattle-canned it first.

Post by: sh on July 23, 2009, 11:47:42 AM actually they are already painted, I just don't care for the colors (yellow & black). the paint job is quite nice and it is a shame to sand paper them, but the yellow has to go.
