what color should i go with?
the weather here has been not very rider friendly as o late so i have started on a few winter projects. i was looking for a little advice on what color i should paint my cowl that i have made. i was thinking black but wasnt sure if silver would work better.
(the cowl isnt finished yet i have a few spots i need to touch up and i have a few alterations that i am going to make now that i have seen it on my bike)

I'd paint the cowl silver to match or semi-gloss black.

Colour match it to the bike.
What have you made it out of and how is it attached to the bike?

Cool, nice job - run a strip of rubber around the edge to avoid rubbing on the seat vinyl and existing cowl. Hardware stores etc should have the rubber strips with a slot in them that will push on the edges.

Your cowl is looking great. In my opinion it won't look like a solo seat unless you paint it silver. These guys are expensive but it's supposed to be a factory match. Honda Motorcycle Paint - ColorRite - ColorRite

Here is an update on the cowl progress.
the first pictures i took are areas that needed to be worked on(i primed t and found several areas that need some work).
the next set are after i smoothed everything out and made a few modifications that i thought were needed.
i have one more area that needs some modification and then i shoud be ready to paint it.
