I had some hydrographics done on my console and speaker grills a while back. I decided to recently have the control bezels dipped to match as well . They stand out a lot more than I thought they would.

I appreciate all of the compliments. Not sure yet but I'm thinking maybe the upper and lower air deflectors as well as the rear drive pulley would be something to try but I don't want it over the top. I might even try some of this myself next time.

More may just be over the top....IMHO
Can we see picture of your bike with some distance from the camera?

Is that a snake skin pattern? The contrast with that pattern and the paint stands out nicely! How much $ did it run if you don't mind me asking? Been thinking of doing the carbon fiber thing myself.

It is called Orange Boa. The funny thing is I hate snakes! All total I have $350 in it. That sounds like a lot of money and it is but there is a lot of work in doing this. Prep, mask off, and primer the parts, put a white base coat on, dip, and then a couple coats of clear to seal it. The film is not the expensive part.

I like it a lot.... and maybe would do the trunk lid but that might put it over the top(too much) as that is a big area but then again it might be just right to finish the job. It would be nice if you had something of the same colors as the snake skin to lay up there and stand back and look and think about it.
