Blacked out windscreen
I got bored so I pulled off my DB windscreen and painted the underside of the windscreen gloss black using Krylon plastic paint. The screen now looks color matched to the bike:

Looks good! I did the same thing about 4 years ago, no problems.

Looks great, but i think it probably will not look as good on any other color but Black.

Looks awesome. Yeah that's like the clear bodies of the rc cars you paint from the inside-you can't screw up the finish

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I love the painted exhaust - is that Jet coat? semi gloss?

I did the exhaust myself using Krylon high heat gloss black spray paint. It came out way better than I expected. I wish I would have painted it long ago.
