Repainted my fairing - black accents

Crashed my bike last year, details here:

Before Photos:

I decided that instead of replacing the scratched fairing, I would sand and repaint both sides black. The painted pieces popped right out, I sprayed them with a flat black trim paint, about 3 coats. It came out awesome:

I also sanded and painted the left side engine cover using a high-temp paint, 2 coats. It's not really exciting, but here's a photo anyway. To see the scratches you have to look REALLY closely anyway.

great! Might do it on my red '07 as well, even without crashing her first

Wow that black on the front farings looks fantastic! Very nice work. Looks even better than before the crash!! :thumbup:

I did the same thing for the same reason back in November, but I think it looks a bit better on the Red bike. :thumbup:

My evil twin!

Not only is it the same black eyeliner...the same year....but I see in your signature that you had a 1983 Honda Nighthawk CB650SC? I had the 84.

Looks good! Too bad you had to lay it over to to get the inspiration.

i might explore some colors to do this with on my Blue 07, Maybe a charcoal grey or gloss black or something... maybe i will just borrow some off of a raven 08 to see how i would like it...

 

[SANGER_A2]

Lol. You made your 07 into an 08!

Doesn't look as if the frame sliders were much use, I have a similar scrape on my left engine cover and I don't have sliders.

Tammy Faye looks like she got dropped too...but couldn't be fixed!!!

Looks cool actually. I think it breaks the paint nicely.

That's what I thought, too. On the right side, the slider definitely helped, but on the left side, the engine cover is the first thing to hit. Judging by the damage to the slider, though, i still think I was better off having it, still. It does make me consider an engine cover guard or a longer slider, though

I was thinking more like this kind of eyeliner:
