To paint or not to paint

[Ride-or-die]

i really cannot make up my mind as to whether or not i should paint my track fairings. The quality of them at the moment is shocking to be quite frank, so do i or do i not do it myself and change them from a dull faded red to black and flourescent yellow?

this is how it looks now....

and these are the plans (please ignore dodgy use of paint)...

[gixxer-kid]

a good t cut and polish will bring the red up

[Ride-or-die]

im worried a t-cut will take all the paint off thats how shoddy it is

save the money and put it towards a trackday

[stu600cc]

Thats my opinion save the money

It looks ok

waste of money if it goes down the road and if its track bike then it will

[harriebird]

i would personally save the cash and have more trackdays out of it! :jumping2

[Ride-or-die]

i dont think itll cost enough to even get one track day out of it

[Pocket Rocket]

Not sure about the colours maybe some more thought unless you seen the exact colours & can say for sure yes it's brilliant!

[stu600cc]

to paint it with just a **** finish to change the colour is pointless (unless track bike and you dont really care wat it looks like)

If your gonna do it do it properly then get a proffesional to laquer it

no im not getting it done properly, the paint finish on it at the moment has clearly been done at home aswell but is in poor condition, so i dont really care what it looks like as long as it doesnt look as bad as it does at the moment

you know it makes sence

[MICKTLS]

i got my track bike painted but then my workshop is next door to a very very good paintshop lol

[RaceMeNSee]

hahahah....save money and pay for a track day?! what are you on 50p a day??? hahahahha

[stu600cc]

Spray it one colour and buy some stickers

[2E]

Spray it a reaaally reaally really flourescent shade of yellow or green, so flourescent you dazzle the other riders so they do a 'doodlebug' into the tire wall, then you will definately win!:laugh1

i think the flourescent idea was doodles with his trackbike anyway..:grin1

[Ride-or-die]

well the vote says paint so paint it is, starting today!

[RaceMeNSee]

I think this is the thread you should put ALL your done pics on J, as its got what it looked like at the start!!!! And you did such a bloooooody good job!!!

[Ride-or-die]
