Shoot them yourself.
That's what Id do.
In no way would I buy new unless I am matching a factory paint.

 

Oh...
Good luck and keep us posted.

 

Paint them. There may be a chance you could drop it again so there is no point in scratching up new plastic.

 

Good point. I'll go ahead and try it. I'll be sure to post before and after pics .

 

Oh, I thought of another option. If the scratches aren't too deep or if you are going to be doing some sanding and smoothing anyhow you could go with vinyl accents. Matching the blue will be pretty tough so if you can get away with just easily adding a couple accent decals then it may be worth just doing that.

I did that with my Triumph (car). I had a small ding in the front of the hood so I popped it out, smoothed it out and put a vinyl racing stripe down the entire length of the car. It turned out pretty cool.

 

The Flat Black ER6n looks awesome IMO-

Shouldn't be hard to get a decent result with a rattle can.

Mixing Flat Black with other colors looks good too-

Post up some pics of your bike so we can see what we're talking about.

Ride On!

...Mixing Flat Black with other colors looks good too...

Yeeesss it do.

 

I vote paint them yourself. That's what I do. I'll never buy new plastics for my ZZR. I repair and repaint my own stuff really cheap, but without really cheap results. The more I do it, the better I get at it. Very gratifying. On the other hand though, your plastics will sell for a pretty penny on ebay. Every mildly goofed side fairing I see for my bike ends up going for well over $100 by auction end. I still say paint 'em yourelf.

 

3M Matte Flat Black Vinyl Wrap Film Sheet 58"

 

Damn that vinyl wrap seems like it would be a good idea...easy to replace when it wears out.

Anyways, I sprayed a few pieces today (headlight cover, gauge cap, and rad shrouds). I think they're going to come out really good. Not perfect because I have an extremely small space to work in (apartment patio ). I'll take some pics tomorrow once they finish drying.

I'm still not sure what to do with the tank - I don't think I want to go full-on matte black with it, might as well add a little custom work in there, maybe leave a stripe of blue down the middle or something.

 

Here's some pics of what I've done so far:

I'm really like the black shrouds. I am not sure what I'm going to do next. The tank needs to be painted due to heavy scratches on the left side (I don't want it to rust ). I don't think I want to go all black though...maybe I'll leave a blue stripe in the middle or something and see how it comes out.

 

Matte black rules. You should go all black, then lay on some graphics of your choosing. Nice work!

 

That looks awesome, nice work.

Is that vinyl or paint? It is hard to tell since you got it to lay down so nicely.

Edit: Never mind I noticed your previous post.
