Default To spray, or not to spray, dat ist zee qvestion.

Now then folks, I have recieved by courier a set of fairing lowers for the sv. The intention was to get some slightly duff ones and play about with them a little, give em a little botox so to speak, and then spray them silver to match my bike.
However, I got a little carried away on evilbay and managed to bag a set of brand new fairing lowers, still with the intention of messing with them, but am now having second thoughts as they are all sparkley and new.
Only trouble is they are not silver, but the dark grey colour.
So, do I go two tone or do you thing it will look sheite?

Anyone able to photoshop a picture of a silver pointy with dark grey lowers?

Stick them on and decide ..... personally I think they might look really good .... maybe then find some stickers or something to tie everything in ....

Well, the intention was to have a lower triangle of the fairing in matt black, bit like where a race bike has its shopping list.

I am ok at spraying, I'm not a proffesional but I've done my fair share of vehicle spraying.

if you can colour match the paint and you think you can do a good job then personally i'd spray them but it's your bike do whatever you want with it.
