Had my tail section painted on the RT

[Lamonster]

I've never been happy from day one with the look of the tail section of the RT, it just didn't look finished to me. It's been in my mind to have this painted and I finally got it done by Farris Customs and I'm glad I did. :thumbup:

When I was in Cuba MO I got a chance to use the shop at Cowtown to swap out this section. It didn't take long and the end results were great, I'm very happy with the color match and it looks factory now. It's held up great for the 5000+ miles I have with it on so far. :doorag:

This is what it looks like with the tail section off.

:clap:Much better...the flat black plastic looks cheap. Butch is thinking about doing something to our flat black parts too.

A little while back somebody posted some pics of a Platinum Spyder done up like that... Thanks for driving that "nail home"! This one will have to be a Wintertime project... :2thumbs:

Yes, that would of been Barbwire, I think she was the first to pull the triger and get the tail painted by Danny.

That would really look nice on a Pearl White Limited.

 

[TicketBait]

Looks great, is it in shiny black or timelessblack?


Would like to do this. Wondering out loud, If Farris customs has a swap tail part where I have my tail piece removed and he already has a painted one to swap, and i pay Cowtown to reinstall when I am out at Spyderfest next year, hmmmmmmmmm, that would be spectacular. just saying

It was painted to match the stock paint and he nailed it. :thumbup:

Looks GREAT!! I never liked the looks of the flat black, either. Is that paint applied directly over the stock surface (after normal prep work) or does the stock surface have to be modified some way in order to get the smooth, shiny look?

Cotton

I'm not sure what it takes prep wise but it looks like the rest of the panels.

Very Darth Vaderish looking!! Nice!!

 

[Tonga]

Prep?

I love the look! My question is what is needed to get a smooth look? The black tail piece is not as smooth as the other panels.
