Like several others on this forum, I decided to paint the front grill of my F3S orange to match the body. While I had the grill off, I went one step further and painted the silver nose flat black as well. I've never really liked that silver, never thought it matched the rest of the bike. Next will be the fog light covers, both of those will be painted flat black as well.

Nice was going to try but those damn clips looked very hard to get off... How did you manage?

This is one of the first things I did also. Thought the silver was out of place. I got the clips off by using a small screwdriver and gently prying one side until I got them off.

That looks so much better. :thumbup::thumbup: BRP should have removed the silver, and replace it with black for all the silver parts.

I just pried one side of the clip up with a pair of needle nose pliers.... It was actually pretty easy. :doorag: :spyder2:
