Haha, wait until I've got the decals on and I've given them a polish... I'll use my low resolution camera too

Well, I stupidly thought it better to do the whole fairing, so I did the tail and front left. My god I wish I'd just done a local repair. Didn't think at the time!! I ordered some decals from Ralf over on the Facebook site and received them today. Job done, just in time for my visit to Tony next wee...

I sanded them down lightly with 1200 grit wet and dry, followed by some rubbing compound and finally some super resin polish. Doesn't look that bad actually, so parts are better than others. All back on the bike and ready for a wash and another polish, just in time for the rain

I've lacquered it and it looks awful. Massive orange peel effect. Is there anything I can do to make it look half decent? Fine wet and dry and polish perhaps?? The amount of time and money it's cost, I should have left it to the professionals ha

Oh. It's a good job I still have enough left for one more coat then haha, or would it make a massive difference if I left it for a couple of days then just applied the lacquer?

I think it is, as the colour code ends with an M. Thanks, so far so good!

I've sprayed all the fairings with the matching paint this evening, leaving them to dry. I've got the Pro Xl lacquer to put over the top. Would you recommend sanding before applying the lacquer or just spray the lacquer straight over the top?

Following the advice above, I have taken back the generic black gloss I purchased and instead got my local paint shop to make me some cans of matching colour from the colour code and purchased some of the pro xl lacquer. All ready to go! I'm using a friends flat that he is refurbish and will keep a ...

Would I be better swapping for a non gloss black, and using a laquer as well then?

Hey guys, So, I've primed the fairings ready for painting and rubbed with some 1200 grit wet and dry. I've got a nice, smooth finish ready for painting. I've got a couple of cans of black gloss paint, I was just wondering what's the best way moving forward. I was thinking of a couple of light coats,...

That's more my thing, Wicky. Nice one!!

This is true. It's not that I can't afford, more that they are massively overpriced for what they are. Also, the black storms seem to come with gold decals on the pictures, mine has black and red...

I've heard they're pretty pricey of the main dealer. I would just buy a set off ebay, but it was so hard getting the old ones off...

Good morning guys! Does anyone know where I can source some decals? I need the three that go on the tail, and the LHS front fairing. I've looked at several different sites including eBay, but they all see to be in a solid colour, and my originals had black and red in them, as it's the faster black m...

Yes, that could well be what I had to scrape off. It came off in pieces, I thought it was some sort of bodge... That's good that it's not. Thanks guys!
