Yep, as I thought, that looks much better in black. I've bought another carrier to paint, so I can use the bike while it's being done. Once that ones done and on the bike, I'll get the original one painted and sell it on here if anyone's interested.

Crikey fella, if ever there was a bike crying out for a bit of powder coating it's that one
Are the infill panels a BMW part or aftermarket. If BMW anybody know the part numbers thanks.

The infil panels are Ilmberger carbon fibre, painted/vinyl applied to match.
If I got the stainless bits powder coated, I'd probably have dropped it by now and started the endless cycle of recoating them to keep them black.
With the bare stainless, they can be polished up if they get scratched.

Have you vinyl wrapped your heatshield? I'd have thought that would melt, if you have.

Mr. Nutty and the collective,
I am also thinking of having these painted but was going to have mine done satin black.
This was mainly for fear of not getting a good colour match with the rear subframe.
Any advice on paint codes etc. greatly received.
Also if anyone else has gone down the satin black route how did they look?

Wozza did ours he couldn't get a perfect match but it's pretty near, he painted one black first but it just didn't look right. I think it a jaguar colour he used. Look at my pic on the show us ur TB and u can see them together.

heatshield is carbon fibre (supplied with the Remus system)
The one Crotchrocket has looks like a wrap. Unfortunately with the full Akra, they supply a stainless shield, which looks cack. I'll probably get that painted at the same time as the other bits.
What about vinyl dipping - they can do car engine parts like cam covers, so might take the heat?

Hot exhaust parts want to be ceramic coated for longevity. Seen a few done on Harleys and they come out well
