Recently I was at my dealership getting some accessory installs done that were left over from the delivery of my 2012 Ultra last month. I was talking to the service writer and noticed they had a painted inner fairing hanging up on display so I asked about it. He said they have a swap-out program where they keep a few regular black ones in stock and will send them to a local paint shop to have them color matched to your bike. They give you the painted one, you give them your stock fairing plus $350. Of course you can't tell for sure this way, but the paint quality of the one on display seemed very good. According to the service guy, keeping a few in stock cuts down on both turnaround time and cost vs ordering a color matched fairing from HD and waiting 5-6 weeks.
The price of course does not include any labor. It seemed like a reasonable price to me but I was wondering what you guys thought. Also, I would have the dealer do the labor since no one wants me near anything mechanical with anything resembling a tool
How many hours labor would be reasonable to remove the stock fairing and replace it with the painted one? And lastly, for those of you who had your inner fairing painted, was it a worthwhile mod for the money?
Thanks for chiming in!

Paul did mine fairing also, Tequila Sunrise, it looks great, very happy with it. In fact that is my Fairing on his FB page, I just noticed that.
I am the guy in Jacksonville. I do paint and install for as little as $300. The candy colors are $350 plus. For Road Glides they start at $450 installed. I have 20 plus fairings ready to go. I use Harley paint. It costs me a little more but I feel it is worth it to give you a quality finish and color match. If you have a group of guys I can come to you. I can install the average fairing in an hour. Ofr you can make a road trip to see me and I install and you ride on. Chech out my Facebook page (Painted Harley Fairings ) there is many of my jobs on there. Quality, Price and convenience! This is the way to go!! Thanks, Paul
