That is a great looking batwing. I did try Friday to get a quote from a local painter. Unfortunately he had closed early to go on vacation this next week. I thought if I asked here I could at least get an idea so I would know if I could afford to buy the wing and get it painted.
Judging by your price I am thinking now that the cost of a plain W/S is how I will have to go.
You could always go with the MS Batwing and paint it later. They're shipped in a high gloss black lucite finish that wouldn't look bad at all with your Mysterious Red. The quick detach hardware makes it a breeze to remove later for paint. They mount nice and firm and the quality is great.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

want to know what the cost might be to paint a Memphis shades Batwing fairing.
Trying to weigh the price before I buy one and find out the paint cost will be too high.
I painted one. It was probably $20 or more for black primer and a flat clearcoat and some sandpaper. Turns out, if you are doing flat black, you don't really need a color coat between. Pretty easy to do and looked good.
anything red is super expensive, like in the 150 dollar a pint plus expensive, plus it is a tri-coat... cha CHING.
high quality clears, adhesion promoters, properly prepping the part.... it ain't going to be cheap
Yes I ditched this idea as it turned out to be more money than I wanted to invest in it. You just never know what the cost will be until you ask those that have done it. I appreciate the help here.
