I have been toying with doing this ever since I got the bike but trouble is I've been too busy riding to do it. Has anyone ever painted the flat black lower fairing to match the rest of the fairings? If so I'd really like to see a picture, don't care what color your bike is!
Thanks All

I pondered this but felt it was designed to take rock chips w/o an issue that paint would have.
-
:popcorn:
I've thought about this as well, would love to see some pics of it done...
-
+1 on the paint getting chipped. I'm almost at 20K miles and the lower faring is a bit chingered up. If I had taken the time to paint it, I might be a little mad >:(
-
Well I think I'm going to give it a shot.... Also had the idea of painting the piece that the rear turn signals sit in to match but I'll save that idea for now. Going to probably tackle it tomorrow unless I get anxious in the next few minutes.

I'll have pics before long.... already got the basecoat on! ;D
As for the fear of it chipping... the pieces are already painted so it really shouldn't wear much different provided it is painted correctly.

What color is your bike Epic?
-
Right now? ;)
It's a black 2009.
Having said that, I painted my last bike about once every six months after waiting two years to paint it the first time, so we will see down the road where it goes!

Definitely post up some pics of that lower painted black then, looking forward to seeing it... 8)

I bet that bed-liner spray would work very nicely, would be tough as nails too. Hopefully you have a fender extender, if not you better get one. ;)
-
Got it all done but its kinda rainy right now so no pics as of yet.... Hoping to get some sun tomorrow or if im lucky later today
-
I also had this done. Will pick up the pieces tomorrow and post them this weekend.

Someone already did this and had pics on the old site. When I laid mine down, I remembered that and told them not to replace the flat black peice, I would just bed-liner it. The service manager thought that was brilliant!

Can you take some high res pics with a camera Epic? Include some side shots too, thanks! 8)

Lose the Bazooka exhaust!!!!!!! :doublepuke:
-
Yeah ill be taking some good pics soon.... rained again just after the i took the pictures!
As for the bazooka exhaust my 2 brothers arrives on monday. ;D Had to break the bike in first ;)
-
Looks great, hope to see it at different angles! 8)

Did you use the same paint that matches the rest of the bike? I saw the below bike on a ZX-14 forum. Even the Kawasaki emblams were blacked out. I think this is a really sharp bike. I hope this is relevent as I believe the lowers on the ZX are flat black like our 14.
-
I don't think the lowers on a ZX-14 are matte black.
Obviously the effect of painting the lowers to match a black bike are going to be less dramatic than matching any of the other colours.
-
I was wondering if the lowers would have the metal flake that the rest of the paint has.
