2tk fairings resprayed

Post by hipringle »

well were getting there now, just got them back from the painters, theyre in a pearl white with a lovely hint of blue which comes out in the sunshine, need to get the decals now then I,ll start putting it back together. It took about 5 hours just to glassfibre the top of the seat cowl & prep it for spraying but its worth it now. The fairings were partially stripped of about 5 layers of paint but it still took me a good day to get them decent enough for spraying. They arnt perfect by any means but still look good from a couple of feet away lol.

That looks like a nice colour :) Where did you get them done? My TRX needs to be done and that looks like a good match for the pearl white that's on it now.

kayla was a mate at a car spray place in cramlington, cost me £120 inc paint,(that includes laquering 2 bike wheels too) was going to be cheaper but the price of the paint he put on put the price up. Its a typical car spray job mind as in not minty perfect (but still good) but it would have cost me just as much if I done it meself & I wouldnt be able to get the petrol resistant finish either.

The panels look great in the flesh, pics dont show them up properly.
