Paint

[JayHawker]

I recently had the vent put on my 2012 RTL to reduce/eliminate heat problem under front body work. As I understand the vents only come in black plastic. I would like to paint to match color of my bike, Lava Bronze. I have looked online for paint and it seems very expensive to me, anywhere form $ 90 for 1/2 pint, $135 for pint plus cost of adhesion promoter and clear coat altogether it would cost about $200 to paint these. Question is, anyone know of somewhere that has less expensive paint or any other way of doing this? I thought about vinyl wrap but I don't know anything any this process. Got any ideas?

1) where did you look?

2) If you didn't look at Color Rite try them

If I were doing this I would buy 2 aerosol cans of paint and one of clear coat and go to town.

Touch up direct is a little less expensive.
