This is a tough one. Is the rest of the bike perfect?
If so, I'd just bite the bullet and buy the OEM plastic cowling. $552 sounds like a lot to pay for something you already have, but if you pay someone to paint your tank, fender, lower and rear cowlings, you'll have to spend at least that much to make it look decent.
And if you do it yourself it's going to look, well... I've never seen a spray-painted bike that looked like it wasn't painted by a drunken orangutan.

Good luck and please post some after pics to prove me wrong,
