fender eliminator from competition werkes-696

[andym]

I painted mine black before fitting it, I think it looks great.

I have not included any pictures whilst fitting it as Sac Monster did a great job of that.

Fitting is easy, just do not fit the plate light until it is mounted on the bike (as in Sac  Monsters pictures) I fitted it as per the instructions and had to remove it to get to the fixing nuts.

The plate light does not appear to light up much of the plate, hopefully this will not be an issue with the plod.

This thing is just getting better. I like it black.    What kind of paint did you use? Primer and steel wool to prep it?

Now that's what i'm talking about!!!!

I used Rust-oleum high heat paint, I just roughed up the surface with some sandpaper and cleaned it before painting 5 or 6 coats.

I was expecting a slightly glossier finish but the matt works well.

I like it in black, we were in too much of a rush to get it on and thought of that a little too late and. I am waiting to hear back from CW if they will do some in black for us.

COMPETITION WERKES Fender Eliminator Kit: M696

This might be a stupid question but would it be better to prime the kit prior to painting or just sand it a bit then paint?

I just followed the instructions on the can.

I installed my eliminator kit today and it took about an hour. It's very well made and has two options for the placement of the plate. I think that was already mentioned in this thread. I also painted mine black and it looks great. I'll be posting pictures on the thread below sometime in the next couple days. http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=9404.0
I also have my rearsets and headlight cover back on my bike after they were powdercoated black. I just have to take some pics and upload them.

[mrplease]

would it be better to have it powder coated or painted black?

[Murdered Monster]

Powder coated would be better, but would cost more. I just used a rattle can. Worked good.

[russelson]

Same here.  Roughed it up a bit with some 400 grit sandpaper first, then painted away.  Worked great.  I was too anxious to get it installed to take it to get powdercoated.
