Painting.
I'll take video of me next time I paint something. You can use it as a training "How not to"
spray paint is cheap and you can get it looking pretty decent with an aftermarket clear coat.
but it also isnt too expensive to have someone hit it with a single color w clear since its a small piece and ready to paint.
After market clear? Like?
If you take some time, you can get rattle can work to look prety damn good. I painted an old Vespa with rattle cans and it looked great.
Gimmie a bush, and I'm a paintin' fool - and yes I am that nerdy

You can't use epoxy clears or color for applications which include exposure to UV.

Many paint supply stores will sell you a single use spray can with 2 component materials.
It's more money than cheapo krylon, but it gives the opportunity to use the good stuff.

Uv protection is pretty important isnt it. :P
Well then, look for something else. I actually paid a body shop to clear my tank. cost me $60. im sure they can clear yours for much cheaper.
or mail it to ducpainter, thats what i did with my last unpainted cowl

that would cost more than having it painted locally and buying the guy lunch and a 6 pack. (he doesn't live on our continent)

stopintime, shipping that cowl would be in the range of a little under 50 bucks each way without commercial discounts

No need to think about shipping since it would get lost anyway ;D Buy it - throw it away - much cheaper [cheeky]
I shipped my Schuberth helmet to Germany today for some warranty work. If He Man stays off the case I might get lucky and have it back in a couple of weeks [thumbsup] ;)

If you thought he was referring to yourself - that's another dimension, not another continent 8)

You sure are Yuu! But Warmachine has some fine, fine minis, so I won't bust on you too hard.

good point...and one I'm comfortable with.
If you need a cowl painted...
send it. ;D
I'm in. I'll get mine and show the results. ;D
We'll see how my dark paintjob on this thing comes out. Probably better than the tank that I probably botched the sanding/filler on
