Well, I finally got tired of all the scratches and cracks on my kat. The po had dropped it, so the whole left side was a mess and there is a huge dent in the gas tank. After looking around at after market fairings, and a lot of reading on here, I decided to give repairing and repainting a try.
I'm using Duplicolor Paintshop paints for this. I've already done the plastic repair, sanded it down, and finished priming last night. Getting ready to go wet sand and start the base candy coat today. I'm going with candy orange for the bike, not 100% sure how it's going to look in the end, but at least it won't be scratched and cracked. I attached some pics of the progress so far. Yes, the gas tank is still on the bike in the pic. I got one on ebay primed and ready to go, so I haven't removed the old one yet. I'll post more when I get further along.
