    pay some one.for good finish you need a heated booth and 2 pak paint. 2 pak is a killer if you do not use proper protective gear.perhaps look at replacement fairings for around 500 bucks from china.

    Do the fairings need repairs, or just paint?

    I would have to agree with risky. With the zxr, I was really keen and tried to do my own but ended up going to a painter. So glad because he just made it look 1000 times better than what I was doing. He let me do a lot of the sanding and priming etc but he did the painting, ended up cheaper + he taught me a heap of new skills, which was great. I'd be more confident now to paint small panels and all but I don't have the gear or space which sucks.
