Painting question

[Dragonrider]

Since it's winter, I am planning to do a bit of painting on my 2014 RT. Since I have a base without the fog lights (and those, at $500, will never be on my bike), I was thinking of painting the air scoops by the frunk white to match the rest of the bike - any thoughts? I would probably match all the front plastic around the windshield too...

I like the thought of leaving the colors contrasting. To much white may be a bit much.

I like the idea of monochromatic on the white. think it would be sharp looking!!:2thumbs: it's your spyder thou, so you have to like it yourself!!

I've seen some nice custom jobs on some of the RT pics - and wanted to raise the conversation.. the "S" & "LTD" have the shiny chromish lights, I have a set of black scoops.... perhaps just those need painting...

THIS PAINT WORKS

:agree:....Yo Dragon, If you caught SpyderTV's video of my Basic RT you will see my DASH surround which I painted in Toyota White Pearl.( made by DUPLI-COLOR EXACT MATCH ).........I would advise priming with a light plastic paint primer first.............The white Pearl is translucent and does not cover well so changing from black to white is going to be very difficult..................Good Luck..........Mike :thumbup:

Here's the thing..!!

The color not only changes the look but there is a shape effect as well. It is paint and can always be changed back but I like to load up a picture to an art program and play with colors there to avoid the expense.. painted silver now black again...pictures when your done..before and after...:thumbup:

try it with plastidip first and if you don't like it just peel it off

Thanx - I'll play with the computer a bit... and pick up a can of light grey plastic paint primer..

google Hydrodipping and see what you think. I believe that would be a pretty cool look and be different

The folks at CowTown used to paint those covers to match the bike; perhaps you can find some of their handywork around...
Try giving Len at PitBull a call; he was there at the time... :thumbup:

That would have been pre - 14 tho..

The lights are a bit cheaper now. I have come across a set on amazon for $320. I actually was able to get mine from the dealer for $390. Painting was an option that I looked into as well. I have the black, so the color matched pretty well.
