My old man painted his the body colour then cut out the middle sections on his and put some steel mesh in place of that, looked pretty good actually.

Yeh i ended up cutting the middle out of mine. You say you made more mounting brackets, weren’t the original ones sufficient?
Make sure to take some pics!

Is specific heat proof paint required when painting these ?
I used normal basecoat and clearcoat on my VT and it was fine when I sold it a few years later

Damn! Wish these guys come up in my google search originally, would of bought a pair of covers bare and painted them myself. At least they would of fitted correctly and not have the gap like the cut up factory will.

i did you can just see on rhs cover the SS crew, i did it to make them really solid fit, i felt they were a bit loose without it, 10 mins to make both brackets and fit, took longer to find the right bolts and nuts
