I would have done that. I went to Maaco a few years back and they said they didn't do motorcycle fairings. Maybe it was just that particular Maaco.Secondly, I'd never put HOK on anything. Too expensive.
I'm on the hunt for all new original fairings. Gonna have Maaco paint them black and will be doing an Autism theme in hydrodipped graphics on it. Not gonna spend a lot doing it either.

What is maaco going to charge you to paint them?
Ever think of getting them Hydro-Dipped?
Hi. I am doing a wild white pearl with blue and purple pearl mixed in. It will fade into a dark purple tail that will change from blue to purple. the tail lights will be LEDs. They will be under the paint. They will only show when the lights are on. On the front there will be a skull on each side coming out of an ace of spade. My bird in Nam was the [the killer spade] on the lower will be 2 battle scines from Nam. The back ground will be purple and blue flames. cost about $800.00. I can paint and do body work but I can not draw.When it comes to getting paintwork done in my neck of the woods , unless you know someone in the paint / repair industry , and / or a mate who is also able to access a good booth etc. , you can expect to pay a fair old chunk of change for any motorcycle paint work . I think the Busa would certainly be no exception here , because of all the curves and separate bodywork pieces . Full fairing motorcycle are generally a lot of work in prep etc. for someone to do in my experience . I have numerous L2 panels accumulating unfortunately.... , waiting for repaint , and eventually I will see to it along with whatever's currently missing including another tank , for a full different custom color job .

I did hydrodip over paint and hated the way it started to chip and crack because of the hydro-activator.
It's good for a show bike and small parts like engine covers but if you ride a lot then it's probably not a good idea.
Just wanted to share with you guys so you can save your hard earned dollars.

That is with clear coating GAmedicWhich is why I'm having my graphics done before having the clearcoat applied.
