    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    probably, not... I don't want to paint it before you drill/fit it... unless you don't care. PM me if you are serious about the paint.

    I've got some minor scrapes on the right side from dropping it at a sloped stop sign, are you able to paint AND (sand) repair or would I have to buy a whole new fairing? It's pretty minor, but I know nothing about body work. Also how long does a 2 paint session take on average? Is it feasible to ride up one morning from CT and ride it back that same night? thanks

    if kitt doesn't want to repair your fairing i am willing. I can sand prime and paint your fairing, assuming kitt doesnt want the work. i wont take the job unless he pms me its cool. and no its really not feasable unless hes got a bake booth

    It's my street bike and only mode of transportation at the moment, so I may end up waiting till winter to remove the fairing if it's going to take a few days to complete. I'm still debating whether to paint the whole bike or just get it repaired and touched up. What would you say is the average turn around time for each scenario, not including shipping?

    Re: $275 Paint jobs... no substitute for the good guys!

    you would have to post pics but,one color whole bike is probably gonna take 3-5 days because of prepping,masking stickers (unless you buy new) and removal/installation of parts.Fixing what you have honestly without seeing it ide say the same amount of time. If its two colors your looking at a little more time so figure a full week. Now keep in mind this is best case senario and may not apply to kitt or anyone else.shipping parts can get costly too may be better off dropping it off

    Finally together! Kitt painted the uppers and lower to match the front fender(sample). Is it perfect? No, it isn't and he never claimed it would be. Is it pretty much perfect from 6-8 feet away? Yup!! I would have Kitt paint my track plastic any day and his work on my street bike was well worth the money! Thanks again man!

    I think he prefers a spray gun or at least a roller. Did you mean a mental flake because he likes to work alone.
