To paint or not to paint.
« on: October 08, 2010, 09:20:35 AM »
I am turning my SERG into a SESG and needed an opinion. It's stardust silver and have noticed that most of the SESG have black inner fairings.The skirt and fork collars are painted the same color as the bike. 1. Because it's silver ,should I paint the inner fairing black or silver and 2. because the silver color is so close to chrome should I paint the skirt and collars or live them as is? Thanks guys.

Just a thought  :nixweiss:  How would it look to keep the SERG graphics, look, and lines (Eagle and all) and somehow incorporate it onto the Batwing  :coolblue: :coolblue:  :nixweiss:

Thanks guys for your input, silver it is. Dropped it off at the paint shop yesterday, I still have the outer fairing with me. The painter wants me to outline the pattern to be painted. Stand by for pics.
