I pulled mine off in just over an hour had it painted at a friends body shop for the cost of the paint it is without a doubt one of the best mods I have done yet you will be suprised how good it looks.

 

PPG is the paint Harley uses.
Take your paint code to any PPG automotive paint dealer and have them mix you a pint.

 

Take it off and have it painted. Its not hard at all and it looks great. I just did mine last week.

 

I'm in the process of doing mine now. New inner faring painted from HD, J&M speakers with LED lighting, amp and spun aluminum gauges. What convinced me was a friend did his and wow what an improvement. Waiting for a few parts which should be here next week so I can finish the job. Tear down was easy, took me around an hour. BTW, this was a Christmas present from my lovely wife. Total was $1890.00 for all the parts.

 

Have it painted. It is a great improvement.

 

Get it done and don't be afraid to do something different, make her stand out. I had all the bezels painted gloss black, paint matched the fairing and pinstriped like the rest of my bike. I also had the air dam and cow bells painted.

 

Do it! Best $100 I've spent (took mine off and had it painted) that created the biggest change. Besides it's the one part of your bike you're looking at ALL the time. :-)

 

I agree with the others. A painted inner faring set you apart from the pack. Paint the one you already have. You will be sure that it fits. A painted inner faring adds that personal touch that not many people take the time to do. I am having mine done in a few weeks with a wallnut and bearl paintjob. It looks like the woodwork inside a BMW.
So I say go for it!!!

Only 2 to 3 years.... Really ??? Not from what I've seen.Clean and condition it once in a while and they hold up fine.

 

paint yours, it makes the bike stand out -- you don't have to do it all the same color --.

I had the inner on my RG done with all the little pieces for $350 hd wanted $800+
