Cheapest/easiest way to spray a track fairing

[dern]

The track fairing on the honda is looking pretty manky and I want to give it a coat of paint. I don't need it to look box fresh but I also don't want it to looks absolutely shit. Any approaches I could take? I have a compressor, a gazebo I can press in to service as a paint booth but no breathing kit, just a 3M 4251 Half Mask Respirator.

I've painted parts of cars with cans before and the results were ok. I painted a car with a roller and blackboard paint once and it looked epic (imo) but it obviously didn't last that long.

For those arching an eyebrow at painting with a roller, behold my skillzzz...

I wouldn't be doing anything until it's a LOT warmer unless you have some proper heaters you can put in the gazebo

If it's a suitable shape use vinyl wrap, wrap doesn't like sharp corners, take your time and use a hot air gun on a low setting to warm the wrap

It might be fun to try that and a few samples of wrap wouldn't be expensive.

Yep. Below 10°c and humidity in the high 80s would be shit for painting anything.

Wrapping.

Watch a few YouTube videos, they make it look dead easy.

It's not, you need skills, 15 pairs of hands and an endless supply of wrap.

I painted my Troll with 2k paint, its very forgiving and gives a good shine . Half litre cost me about £35.
As you mix with hardener it will go off in this cold weather ok.
You will need a mask though. Pics in the motorcycle project section.

And that will be an air-fed mask, not a paper one.
