$25 paint job
I know...I know...I know.... I'm cheap
 but i got what i was looking for  ... the bike still needs to be cleaned and waxed. For those who want to know i wet sanded the plastics down with 400 grit sand paper cleaned off the plastics, made my tape lines, masked off what i did not want to paint and sprayed away. I used krylon Camouflage Paint with Fusion Technology flat black. when i painted it (in my shed) the temp. was on the cooler side and it was raining so its not perfect by any means. Tell me whatcha think... oh and i got lazy and did not take the heat sheild stuff off on the inside of the main fairing and decided it would be a bad thing to paint over it so if you look you can see some blue there

Nice work!
 Have you considered painting the tops of the fairing bolts black as well?

I just saw a commercial for the Krylon Fusion stuff on TV recently and was like, "WOW, gotta get me some of that stuff!" Thanks for cinching it for me.
The bike looks great!
