New screen suggestions?

#1 Post by Fausto » Tue Jun 19, 2007 6:08 pm

I have decided I don't like the look of the hubbly bubbly screen I have fitted. It does the job in the comfort sense on long journeys so it'll go back on for tours BUT I want a standard shape screen in black/dark smoke for every day use.

Anybody recommend one?

Was thinking about this recently and being a bit Scottish was thinking about using titnt spray on the original, just a thought.

To save your BBQ costs, just bring it along to the F9 burning - I'm sure we can sort this out after the main event !

Never heard of "tint spray". Are you making it up FP ?

Thing is my original screen is very scratched so any paint would need to cover this up.

Tint spray is the stuff boy racers use to make their light clusters soooo dark you can't tell if they are braking or not. Local boy racers shop will have it. Won't hide any imperfections though.

I had a red screen on my thundercat a few years ago. Didn't like it so sparyed it solid black from the inside. Retained the nice glossy look on the outside and obviously looked black. You couldn't see through it of course but then I'm 6ft7 so lying on the tank looking through the screen isn't gonna happen really. £4 for some paint, bit of wet and dry to 'key' the surface and ten minutes its done.

Is it a bit like tint spray but comes in the body-paint range ?
