    Pearlescent White

    So my fairings have a few chips cracks and missing bits and pieces. I was thinking about just picking up some new fairings and having them all painted and then trying to sell the old ones. (limit time I don't have my bike because its my only transportation so don't want to patch the cracks) Also no small cracks cuz the little bit of rattle kinda urks me.

    Ok for the question. I wanted to do Pearlescent White with midnight black accents. Need some suggestions on paint brands. Do we have a favorite?

    Thanks in advance,
    Bob

    Oh side question. Does anyone know if there is a specific Hurigana or Kanji symbol for Suzuki and then for Katana or should I just spell it out? (three symnbols each) Or is there one solid one like the Busa?

    my recomendation on paint is standox. As for spraying the paint, do you have a paint gun, or are you looking to go rattle can? have you ever painted before ? If not I would recomend that you have someone else spray the pearl. It is difficult to paint pearl.

      sounds like a good paint choice

            House of Kolor has some real nice pearl colors, including the white. You can also buy more pearl to add to it.

              House of kolor has great pearls, but it is very costly. The good news is bikes are smaller than cars, so you won't need that much. As for pearl. My 2 favorite "factory" pearls, are the Cadillac escalade pearl white, and the audi pearl white. I think the audi looks better in the daylight, but the cadillac is unbeleivable at night under the lights.

                House of Kolor was actually not to bad when painting a bike. A car would be spendy though.
