Can I paint my Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing?

Answer

Memphis Shades fairings come with a weather proof class A finish and do not need to be painted. However, they are made of Lucite cast acrylic and ABS plastic and can easily be painted using most automotive or motorcycle paint, with little preparation. (Most people have only the outer surface painted, but inner surfaces, including the ABS parts, can be painted.)

Some paints contain organic solvents that can be harmful to Lucite and ABS. Paint makers have extensive application information and can make recommendations on specific formulations. Your local painter would routinely know this, and all things considered, having him paint it is preferable to doing it yourself.
