| Painting dash's
I have a 2007 Streetglide, I am thinking about painting my dash, I know that H.D sells them already painted. Has anybody out there ever successfully painted thier own dash, with a factory color? |

| It's done all the time,
Sanding them smooth is a key
Finding a painter if you are not one, and getting the paint to match isn't hard you can buy it from the dealer or have your painter match it up.

| my inner fairing is staring to look like crap..... sun fade on the top edge.....etc...the flat black that they use for it doens't hold up as well.... would not mind painting mine also....BUT, that means got to take it appart.... then have it painted (painting is NOT my skill), then put it back together...... THink I will live with the weathered look for a bit more!
