i am getting ready to paint my inner fairing wanted to know are those little black buttons removable caps and should i remove them before i paint the fairing, dont want to pop off if they wont go back in or break them

 

when you remove your inner fairing you will see they are easy to reomove. I did not paint mine and they were not noticible.

 

if you are referring to the 3 buttons that run down the each side on the inside of the faring, yes they are caps that cover the bolt holes needed when adding the fairing mounted wind deflectors. cant help you as far as painting goes

 

Painted mine.

 

Paint over them, everything will match perfect then, if you go with fairing wind deflectors latter they are covered up by the deflectors anyway.
