01 RG. The black stock paint is starting to wear off pretty bad on my innner fairing. I see new inner fairing could cost as much as $700-1000. Has anyone ever painted one on there own. Pics? Any ideas on what to do?

 

You need to search on this topic as there is a wealth of information on this subject already posted.

 

Yes. Pull your stocker, have it painted locally for $100 to $150 and put it back on. You'll be VERY glad you did.

 

Just finished painting me. I wanted the Gloss Black to match my bike. Cost to paint, remove and re-install fairing $500

 

Did you have someone do it or did you do it?

 

Pulled mine myself had loacal painter paint...turned out great, easy job if you take your time, label things as you go and have a manual as well.

 

Don't know where HDFLHX got his done but around the Mid West that is very high. I have a painter , considered the best around here that will spray it for me for $200. That is with me removing and re-installing. For $525 (does not include labor ) you can buy a Harley painted inner and get a warranty with it. JMHO

 

Same here. Brought mine to my painter and had it done for $200. Paint alone was ~$60 and I have enough to do another inner left over. Looks absolutely awesome, just be careful with the install. I wrapped the bars with thin shipping wrap.

Has anyone used any kind of gasket material between the small gauges and the inner? Kind of surprised there isn't any. Just wondering...........

 

I too just had mine painted black, base coat clear coat and color sanded, for that no orange peal look. Cost was $150. I removed and reinstalled. I also photoed and printed on 8 1/2 x 11 pictures more for wire routing than anything else. I marked all of the gauge wiring with tape at removal. I had my wife help hold the painted fairing until I had the fairing brackets attached. Looks "rich" with a painted dash.

 

Pics?
