[2fiddy.com] - Painted / Tinted Windscreen

[Ninjette Newsbot]

Reader DeerCelica sent me in a link to his latest Mod on his Ninja 250R. He broke out the ol’ rattle can and threw on a few quick coats of Krylon on his windscreen — and it came out really nice.

His Instructions are:

4 allen head bolts and the windscreen slides right out, the bolts on the bottom facing up don’t go to the windscreen, they go to the mirrors. Takes a whole 60 seconds to remove the screen. After that, lay some tape over the front to stop overspray onto the front of the screen. I used Krylon Satin Black (satin / flat spray paint lays allllot smoother than gloss). Gave it two light coats and re-installed (mist it on slowly).

Simple enough huh…

Also, if you don’t want to use a full black spay.. Also an old trick is to use model ‘tint’ spray. This Testors paint is available at any hobby store — and does a great job. (Not to mention it comes in ‘candy’ colors like blue, green, red, etc.)

Thanks for the tip DeerCelica!
