okay, so i bought myself a Tyga Suzuka from a member on here ( Riyley ) thanks alot!! :D
and so the yellow colour wasnt really my type of thing. so i decided i want to do Repsol orange instead... here are some pics leading up to the finished stage..
here is the original items... untouched
and here are the finished items.
i am actually really pleased with the outcome.. this is my first time painting a fairing. and i thought i was totally going to mess up the black/ orange in the front nose piece. but turns out i did well :)

You've ruined them, they were professionally painted in 2 pack with absolutely stunning finish. But hey, you paid your money so do what you like with them.

I dunno, I think you ruined them in the first place with that bog awful yellow colour

each to their own man, im not really fond of the yellow colour. im going for a repsol orange and black colour scheme, i really like it :) i may not be a professional, but id rather do it my own rather than pay 500 odd quid

only ever seen pics of that bike and although not a fan of yellow mself thought it worked really well with the mito tail sad to see it broken for parts it was arguably amongst the most trick bikes on here at the time.
