 how did he smoke/color his screen THAT black?? - Riko_imp - 03-18-2016

how did the owner (whomever he is, don't remember, but got it from this board I think) of this road comet fairing make his screen so dark?

Black spray the rear side of the shield?

I got the smoked version, but its not nearly as black as the one pictured above.

Thanks

That's typically how it's done, spray-painting the back side. I did that on a bikini fairing years ago. Painting the "inside" gives an incredibly even covering when viewed from the "outside", through the plastic. Be sure the paint you use is safe for plastic, though! Wink

One or 2 guys have done what Papa said and painted the back side. They have posted about it.

Nice find and well spotted, Riko. I wonder how that would suit my Dart?

Cheers

Alright. Thx a lot guys!

Something to do when my new shorter screen arrives Smile

Would that require any kind of prep? Or just a matter of using plastic specific paint?

Clean the inside very well. I would use a satin black and many light coats.

I was thinking of using my left over of black Plast-Dip Wink

No harm can be done since its removable.

I used hammered black spray paint. I also power sanded the inside surface before paint as well.

Do it with Plast-Dip and it's reversible.
