Do Fairing Colors Fade? Tips for Long-Lasting Looks

by KingsMotorcycleFairings.com

When you’ve put time and money into customizing your motorcycle with a fresh set of fairings, the last thing you want is fading paint. So, do fairing colors fade? Yes, over time and with the wrong care, they can—but that doesn’t mean it’s inevitable.

With quality materials, proper paintwork, and the right care routine, your fairings can keep their vibrant look for the long haul.

 

Why Fairing Colors Fade

Fading is usually the result of prolonged sun exposure (UV rays), weather conditions, and inconsistent maintenance. Even high-end fairings can start to lose their shine if they're not properly cared for. That’s why it’s important to know what goes into your fairings—and how to protect them.

At KingsMotorcycleFairings.com, all of our fairings go through a professional 7-step paint process, designed to deliver bold, clean color with a deep finish. It’s a level of detail and durability that sets us apart.

 

Tips for Keeping Your Fairings Looking Fresh

Here are some simple, effective ways to maintain that like-new look:

1. Start With Quality Fairings

Not all aftermarket fairings are created equal. Our fairings are made using high-quality ABS plastic and painted with care in our 7-step process—ensuring great color depth and durability.

 

2. Avoid Prolonged Sun Exposure

Whenever you can, park in shaded areas or indoors. UV rays are one of the most common causes of paint fading. Even a little extra protection can go a long way.

 

3. Use a Cover When Parked

A motorcycle cover—especially one with UV protection—helps guard your fairings from both sun and environmental wear.

 

4. Wash with Care

Stick to gentle soaps and soft cloths when washing your bike. Harsh chemicals or rough materials can dull the finish over time.

 

5. Add a Protective Wax Layer

Applying a motorcycle-safe wax provides an extra layer of defense and keeps your fairings looking glossy and rich in color.

 

Built to Stand Out. Built to Last.

At KingsMotorcycleFairings.com, we take pride in creating aftermarket fairings that don’t just turn heads—they hold their color and quality for miles to come. Whether you’re riding daily or just on weekends, your bike deserves fairings that last.

🏍️ 5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Motorcycle Fairings

By KingsMotorcycleFairings.com

 

Your motorcycle fairings do more than just make your bike look sharp — they protect you, your engine, and play a key role in aerodynamics. But like tires and chains, they don’t last forever. If you’re wondering whether it’s time for a replacement, here are five clear signs to look out for.

---

1. Visible Cracks or Structural Damage

Even small cracks can compromise the integrity of your fairings. Over time, vibrations and wind pressure will make the damage worse — and it could even pose a safety hazard. If your fairings have started to split, warp, or rattle, it’s time to consider a new set.

 

---

2. Mounting Points Are Broken or Loose

Fairings need secure mounting to stay effective. If the tabs, brackets, or screws have worn out or broken off, your fairings may shift or vibrate while riding. When repairs aren’t holding up, a full replacement is the smarter (and safer) option.

3. Paint Is Faded, Peeling, or Sun-Damaged

UV rays can take a toll on your bike’s appearance. Faded paint or yellowing clear coat not only looks bad but can reduce resale value. Replacing your fairings is an easy way to bring back that fresh-from-the-factory shine — or go for a bold new look.

 

---

4. Poor Fit or Alignment After a Crash

Even low-speed drops can knock fairings out of shape. If things no longer line up, you’ll notice gaps, rubbing, or aerodynamic drag. After any collision, check your fairings for internal damage — what looks "just cosmetic" may actually affect your ride.

5. You’re Ready for a New Style

Let’s be honest: sometimes you just want a change. Whether you're upgrading to a race-inspired design or customizing with graphics and colors, swapping your fairings can completely transform your bike's personality.
