Gpz550 D1 fairing was created by Haggis61
Hi. New member here. Im looking for some help. I am doing a nut and bolt resto on my gpz 550 D1. Ive sent off the nose cone fairing for painting. Can anybody tell me what colour the inside of the fairing should be? Should it be the same firecracker red or is it black?

I don't think it is painted intentionally. From what I remember, it was black but had red overspray on the inside . I't's been 20 years since I've had one, though.

The insides of the side panels and tail fairing were never painted. I would assume that the inside of the fairings were black for aesthetics . I wouldn't see any reason to paint inside the fairing, the matching exterior color.
