    Painting the recall bezels on 250 proXS

    There was a few threads recently about painting the bezels to match. I decided to paint mine red and think it looks pretty good. I used the spray paint below.

    Works well- I'm planning to try a "near chrome" paint for someone (have the paint in hand, just getting around to it).

    For red they have “fire red” and “red pepper”….wondering if the red pepper might look better?

    Looks great! I debated doing this but with the Carbon decals on my motor the silver looks pretty damn good.
