HotRoc54, how about a picture from the rider side; be interested to see the fitment between the painted add-on and the actual mirror edge.
If I had a close-up of my painted fairing mirrors, it'd show they're painted the like the add-ons; the painter masked the "bulge" (that you see as unpainted plastic on HR54's mirrors) and base.

I paid $75 to have mine painted,and $50 for the paint.
The guy that painted it works in a local body shop,and offered to do the job.He fixed my wifes truck in the past,and does outstanding work.
Swapping the fairing was a very straightforward job;if your thinking about doing it,just do it,its not bad at all.

Well it's snowing, again, and I am getting ready for my winter project. Going to remove the inner fairing and have it painted to match the bike. I am also replacing the handlebars and the air temperature gauge, replaced it with an oil temp gauge while I have it all disassembled.
Also, was thinking of painting the stock fairing mirrors to match also. I can't remember seeing this done before. Anyone done this could please give your opinion? Maybe a picture?

I was too scared that it would be hard to match the GLACIER WHITE PEARL,.....so I bought my inner & cap from the dealer @ 20% off. Cost $452, but I did the swap myself. Sold the old one on EBAY for $110 or $125, so I was happy with the net out of pocket, and 100% assurance that it would match in color.

I love my inner fairing painted, I purchased another inner fairing and had a local body shop paint the fairing, cap and unused switch plugs for $160.00 for vivid black. I was going to paint the mirrors bit then the fairing I purchased had two small holes from the chrome mirror covers with the turn signal LED's in them and I really like the way it turned out and the extra visability at night. I also like the unused swith caps painted as I see some people have left them black. Great and fun upgrade.
