wow, your bike looks really nice. i do like the yellow. I was considering painting the lower fairing black also to give the bike some contrast. I haven't seen too many people do that on the third gen vfr's.
The lower section is done in black truck bed spray-on coating. Urethane-based - and completely bullet proof. Got tired of the paint constantly pitting at the leading edge of the lower cowl. Looks outstanding and will undoubtedly stand the test of time.
