Aqua Shields painted

[cirbtap]

I've seen this before on here. Not sure if there was an answer.
Been thinking of getting it done. Painting the aqua shields with the bed liner paint to take care of the paint chips. Plus I think it would improve the looks of the trike. Any suggestions within the Twin Cities area in Minnesota??

Many people have done the bedliner paint approach, and seem happy with it. There was a thread on this very subject a while back.
Another suggestion would be something like this3M/Paint defender spray film (90000) | Protectant | AutoZone.com
also available in colors by other mfgs.

Just got it back from the painter. Now, it stands out more.

Had it painted black. I like it very much. That's all I'm worried about.

Ride safe.

I used rubberized undercoating touched up with rattle-can paint.

the Rhino liner place wouldn't do it, the job was not big enough for them.

CJMitch+++I just happened to look on the computer for a Rhino Liner dealer.
I found one about 5 miles from me. I did not now they even existed.
He looked at the trike and said it would be less expensive if the aqua shields were taken off. And then he said there was a motorcycle shop just across the parking lot that would take off the shields for me. I went and chatted with them and they said the whole job be done within 3 days after I dropped it off to them. I got it back in 2 days and very happy about the whole procedure.
One thing I've noticed is that the black paint holds the dirt longer. It looks like dust in the area of just below the passenger foot rests.

Happy trails to one and all.
Ride safe
