Fairing paint patch..
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2007 5:12 pmHey all,
Watching the GP yesterday go me hyped to go out and 'fix up' by ride...
Performed a Fender-ectamy, cutting a large section of the black plastic away and re attaching number plate higher... turned out great..
I'll post some pics.
BUT
I also stupidly tried to spray patch a little painted area on my fairing (the fairing section beneath the seat) - what a mistake -
i turned a 5cm x 5xm faded area into a 15x15 patch job.
Not only was the colour the wrong green, but i sprayed it on too thick and then the paper which i had protecting the rest of the bike was picked up by a gust of wind and stuck to the wet paint!!
yes... i'm a nob...
Can anyone suggest a spray shop or repairer that i can take my bike to get a bit of patching spray and colour matching done? I'd really really like to avoid taking off the whole fairing and re-spraying the whole thing...
