    has anybody painted the bodywork on the vf500?
    i ask cause i am about to start.
    before you assume im ruining the factory look. i bought the bike with cracked front fairing and someone tried to paint the bike all white, without removing any of the stickers.
    so i was just after some ideas.
    and i will be hunting ebay for some factory fairings as well, cause i like the look of stock.
