So i know you can buy(approx $600) new plastics in different colors but i was wondering if anyone has gotten their plastics painted.  I started off wanting the black, but couldn't get ABS, so had to settle for white.  What i'd really like is a dark gray.  i have a dark gray truck with all black everything else(no chrome!).  I would really like to do my bike in this....can the plastics be painted?  Sorry if this question has been answered.  Here's my truck...i wanted to get my bike somewhere near this:


I also just installed the Evotech Tail Tidy last night....i used a youtube video(hardcopy directions are terrible)...the video was great and i am very mechanically declined!  Love the look...now if it would only stop raining!  Bad pic as it was dark outside.

They can be painted any color you'd like.

Just find a local body/paint shop, give them color, pay them to paint.

Your owners manual for your truck probably has a paint code, or the shop will be able to find out the exact color your truck came from factory and match it

Does anyone know of an estimate.  i wouldn't know what was a good price or what would be a price that's just too high.  It's hard to tell if you payin alot because the company/person is good or just because they are tryin to rob you.  Anyone who paints or go parts painted, can you weigh in?
