$25 paint job NOT rattle can.
Well my fairings were way too gone for a nice paint job. I have 33 zip ties holding them together. At 2 o'clock this morning I was at walmart when insperation hit... Snuggies were 5 dollars each on the clearance isle. So... 3 snuggies 3 cans of 3M spray adheasive and 4hrs later I had this... THE ANIMAL throwback fur bike!
I will post completed pics, with the cowl, front fender, and cage on, today sometime.

Re: $25 paint job NOT rattle can.
Well through my extensive R&D (stretching and pulling the snuggie) I found that if you do it like a seat, (I did boat upholstery for a while) and cut triangles around the back before you glue it down. It wraps very good the only cut I had to make was on the center line of the back of the tank and I have an idea how I am going to cover that up.
