Paint or buy Fairings?
I'm debating on if I should by the original fairings that came on this bike because I really like the design of it and I don't know if anyone can paint that meticulously. I have the ninja zx600 A1 with the blue, red and white in that order from top to bottom. I was looking on site that the whole top fairing cost around $540 something dollars and I would be paying more for a really nice paint job for the whole bike. And instead of buying the fairing, just paint it like it came from the factory but who can paint something like that with all the decals on it striping on it; because you can't buy them as far as I know. But I'd like to get some really good advice on this here. Thanks guys and girls!
You might be able to get the decals duplicated at a decal place. I've done that before and they turned out good. I'd just get them painted if yer plastics are in good shape. Fixing them isnt too bad but if they are really damaged easier to just replace if you can find them. Check ebay.
Was it a decal place off the net or local to you that you got them duplicated? The fairing will need to be fixed because I dropped it last year and broke the tabs that hold the windscreen. So either I get a body man to fix them or get a new fairing all together. I think i'll come out cheaper that way cuz of less customization. IDK...
Yea just local graphics place. Die cut stickers would look cool. More of a modern look. Plus you could get some diff colors or somethin if you wanted. If its just the tabs broken, get a good 2 part epoxy. Pretty much like super glueing. But it helps if you have the old pieces to glue back on. Plastics are pretty forgiving when fixing. Alot easier than workin with metal.
Uhhhhhhhhhh WHAT!!!!?
you are correct that it's difficult & expensive to duplicate or exceed the quality of most factory finishes. are you considering aftermarket fairings? if so, you'll pay less than oem fairings but the fit/finish won't be as nice. you'll likely end up doing some cutting & shaving & fabbing to get it to fit nice.
