Single colored fairings

[nomadwest]

I was reluctant at first to just paint my fairing one color instead of the matching two tone. I think it turned out great and glad I did. How many others out there have done the same thing?

It looks great one colour. But I went with the two tone. Mine is hard to see unless the sun is shining bright ,... but then the gray pops pretty nice I think.

The single color looks great. Had to save some dollars.

[jasperboy]

Single for me, but with an all black bike it seemd to make the most sense. Like the look of your as well.

Mine is a single color exterior and another color(satin black)in the interior to get away from sunglare

It looks good, but I still prefer the two tone look, actually with the amount of stone chips I had on mine I'll probably add a bra to the fairing on the next bike. Hopefully that will protect it on the highway.

My 2007 Nomad was all black and I had the fairing painted to match. My new bike has a two-tone scheme and I prefer that.

[nomadrider]

I had mine painted two tone to match the bike .Bike was two tone so thought the fairing would look better two tone.

Mine is one tone blue and when I had my tour pack added, went single tone also... I think it looks good and may have the bike painted all blue when the time comes!!

Mine was all black, but I went to the two tone when I added the H-D Ultra trunk. With the pin stripes matching the gas tank and fender and I think it made the bike look pretty darn good.

Let me know if you find a bra without the bar and shield and HD on it.
I'll buy one too.

Rick; Im sure you could get a Vulcan crest to go over the HD emblem if you wanted to.

I went two tone Dave I like the single color but I am not able to picture it till its on the bike so I went safe and painted two colors.

I think the Nomad looks much better as a single colored bike. It amplifies the lines of the bike.

frick'in awesome.

[Loafer]

Jared that is a great looking ride! Nice job!!

Jared that loks like a 5 bolt windshield where did you find the chrome skirt for it??

[VulcanE]

Dave,The single color does look good.
Jared, the bike looks awesome.
I plan on repainting my bike in the next year or so, and right now, I'm leaning toward a solid Cobalt Blue Pearl.

I haven't looked into it, but how much (roughly) does it cost to repaint a bike? Right now all I have are the fenders, tank, & bags. Eventually will put on a fairing.

I know it all depends on type of paint, color, how many coats... but I'm just curious as to a rough estimate.

[ringadingh]

I paid $500.00 to grt my fairing repainted in two tone, it also needed a slight repair. I was quoted $2200.00 to repaint the complete bike, with me doing the re & re of the parts. Around here paint work is expensive.

Hoppe Industries offers them.

It veries greatly. If you pull the parts and rebuild the bike, that alone will save you $500.

A good simple paint job will cost you between $2000-$3000. Custome with air brushing etc will be more.

Were you at the Rally in Maggie Valley? Did you happen to see Tom's bike from SoCal? I think he told me he paid about $4000 for that paint job a couple of years ago.

[mobandy78]

Thanks guys. That will give me an idea of what I need to look forward to.

Wow Jared, Your solid red Nomad looks awesome. I am also going to go with the solid red in time and finances willing. Am curious as to what color your bike was originally? Again, great job dude!

Dave - I think your paint job turned out real well - and no you don't have to bow down to going two tone just because the rest of the bike is.
I think one of the thigns that makes yours work is that you also painted the side covers a single colour too.
overall - very sharp.
Much better then mine right now (blue/silver, black fairing, black trunk)....
