Custom made fender eliminator. From using all parts from a OEM rear fender. A few pieces were cut of by a dremel. The bracket that holds the brake housing was then painted with Black high temp low gloss spray paint.
I would have traded you my slightly rashed rear red tail fairing and some cash for your pristine red tail fairing, since you were painting them anyway :(
I had them painted professionally from a local guy around here named Randy Boyd. He also does restoration for all sorts of cars, old and new.
The paint I used for the subframe was Duplicolors hight heat low gloss spray paint. I used that mostly on everything I have painted so far, except for the rearsets.

nice looks good. I'm going the cheaper route of picking out a white at the local PPG paint store and have them throw it in a rattle can for me. single stage so i don't have to mess around with clear coat, but i cant have any pearl in it $17 a can
anyway, so you had your rearsets powder-coated?

no i actually painted them myself. I think i should have got them powder coated. But we will see how the paint holds up. I used a heavy dutie paint that doesn't flake from duplicolor. Its a kind of paint they use on Semi trucks.

Really nice bike!!! Hi guys what are good sources to get nice carbon parts?
I got my CF parts from a member who had them on his bike. But there are a few members on here who make the parts. Getting a hold Of them is the difficult part.
How did you paint all that stuff black? sanded down the metal than sprayed them? Frame too?
