Looks aren't everything......but....

Mga Pars,

So I got lucky and found someone who sold me some race plastics for super cheap. They're primered and ready for paint for the most part. I'm not artistic at all and have no painting skills so I was wondering where some of you get your paint jobs done here in SD. How much does it usually cost to have fairings painted?

Unfortunately, not. My next trackday will be March 20 at Auto Club Speedway. Why do I have a feeling that AMPS is an inside joke that I'm not in on. Wait.....I think I already have that number in my phone. Duh, I think I get it now. lol. I'll give him a call.

Get some paint and sand paper. Tell me when you're ready to paint. I'll come over to help.

Sweet!! Ilocanor1 offered to help as well. What kind/brand of paint do you recommend? Also, what grit sand paper. These are sharkskinz pre-primered.

buy some fine grit sand paper and wet-sand your fairings so you dont inhale fiberglass
i used 600 grit (shrug) but im not very picky with my paint jobs
i used krylon spray paint from Wal-Mart, theyre just a bit over $1/can

if you want factory spec colors, you can order paint from color-rite.com
they are pretty pricey though

Tri City paint got some good deals

I'm not picky either when it comes to track fairings. Although, these could be used for street as well since it's the ones with the lights cut out. Thanks. Now to decide what color(s). I was thinking simply black but now I may be thinking a Laker theme bike. Probably just stick to black so it's easy. Thanks!!
