My bike has a few ***** and dangs, knicks and dings everywhere so I'm going to scuff her on down and do one of a couple things here...

1) Paint it a solid color. Black is the obvious choice, maybe a dark gunmetal. I've been playing with the idea of red or white though.

2) I work with Carbon Fiber a lot, I could just wrap the plastics and tank in a layer and run a satin clear over it.

3) I wrap everything in carbon, paint everything that's black right now back to black, and leave the silver the raw carbon and clear over everything.

Anybody else got any suggestions or like any of those options?

 

It looks good in the pics. I wouldn't mess with it.

I'd vote for option 2 though.

 

The cameras do good work of hiding evveerrryyything. I think another motorcycle must have fell on it because the tank is a little beat up from the other side.

 

I'd just repaint it. Overlays never last.

 

I would paint. Spend some time and make it look good. Overlays/carbon on top of the existing plastics will likely put a noticeable amount of weight on it too.

I don't have experience painting, but I've noticed from people who have done it themselves, white and black are hard to make look good. Bright colors like yellow/red/etc are easier to make look good.
