Question Custom colored windscreen Question.

Ok, I would like to get my windscreen tinted/painted just like the one on the picture below (but with yellow to black coloration instead). Well, I posted question on r6 forum but didn't get the answer yet, so maybe someone here knows how this tinting/painting gets done.
Thank you for the input in advance.

Looks like whoever painted the bike also painted the lower portion of a dark tinted screen. Not sure how long that will last, but it looks good.

I would get a black plastic screen and ask if a car painting company could give it a try.
Another option would be to consult some of the companies who do advertisement to cars by films. Those can be printed in any colour.

A car repair or bike shop should be able to do it, Waterbased paint has a low baking temp so should not affect screen....tho please dont quote me if it melts!...

yes looks cool but I agree I think there will be adhesion issues and it'll mark like hell!

Can be painted any colour, waterbased or solvent based. Its only plastic as are bike fairings and some car panels. Depend if you want to see through some/none of it. does not have to be baked, can be air dried....Might be an idea for someone in the know to produce a wrap though?

Thank you for all the input, I know one guy who does wraps will ask him if he can do it, if not will look for local painters.

Well, painting doesn't look as I expect - black top of windscreen being on the same level with yellow fairings on the top just doesn't look right (at least to me), if screen would stick out a little bit would be better, so I will just simply tint it. Thank you everyone for opinions and input.
