We'll see how well the spray paint holds up after its been on there a while...

The front/top fairing was spray painted black by Jono when we were originally fixing it from write off... and it lasted a few months before it started to look faded and had water marks on it... so by winter it may need another coat...

Yeah I considered that option recently... need to sand and prep (plastic welding, bogging) the fairings first... many hours of work... plus you need a compressor or whatever to spray with... out of my budget right now... so spray paint out the can will have to do

Have compressor and spray gun. You do the prep and supply the paint. Squirting on paint takes no time - it is the prep work.
