 painting footrests
Hi all --
I would like to blackout my 2014 RT. Has anyone tried painting or plasti-dipping the handlebars, windshield backet and footrests.
Thanks for any help I can get.

Good luck with this project; please let us know how it all ends up! 
Cruzr Joe did some "re-coloring" fo windshield brackets... I'm not sure what he did, so you should probably ask him directly.
As I see it; the footrests might just be the toughest part of this game. Since they're going to be stepped on, scuffed, kicked, and generally abused by anything with a foot; you might want to consider having them powder-coated. That would probably be the toughest finish that you could add.

windshield bracket
I had my windshield bracket powder coated while the rt was in hibernation. I think it was 25 bucks well spent.
Good luck with your project. IMG_20160207_1542_55.jpg

YOUR PROJECTS
IMHO, you can paint, plasti-dip, or powdercoat all of them.....even the foot-pegs......since you have the BASIC RT like me they aren't a WEAR item, they are well covered in rubber. ..........Mike

Here's how I do it....
The plasti dip is nice but on the footrests I would go with the powder coat. It will last longer so if you powder coat the pegs might as well powder coat them all you will be much happier with the outcome...

paint
I just put a Goldwing windshield on my '14 Rt - so while I had it off I painted the bracket a flat black. Next will be the bars and panel by the foot pegs.
Have fun!

I have painted all of what you mention with very good results using Rust Olium x2. You can get flat black, satin black and shiny black. Holds up great............

Got the decals from Wrap My Spyder. They are a site sponsor, Pete can fix you up with anything you need. Mine are actually matte black to compliment the matte platinum paint.

Painting Footrests
Thanks to all that have responded to my post. I believe the way to go is Powder Coat. Again Thanks to all. Happy riding as the heat is coming to the north country (MN).
