Last week there was a post about painting your heatshield… This week, one of our readers Chris submitted some great step by step info on hwo to do this, but also doing the end cap on the exhaust as well… This adds a super rad touch…
[The following was Submitted by Chirs. Thanks!]

Reader DeerCelica sent me in a link to his latest Mod on his Ninja 250R. He broke out the ol’ rattle can and threw on a few quick coats of Krylon on his windscreen — and it came out really nice.
His Instructions are:
4 allen head bolts and the windscreen slides right out, the bolts on the bottom facing up don’t go to the windscreen, they go to the mirrors. Takes a whole 60 seconds to remove the screen. After that, lay some tape over the front to stop overspray onto the front of the screen. I used Krylon Satin Black (satin / flat spray paint lays allllot smoother than gloss). Gave it two light coats and re-installed (mist it on slowly).
Simple enough huh…
Also, if you don’t want to use a full black spay.. Also an old trick is to use model ‘tint’ spray. This Testors paint is available at any hobby store — and does a great job. (Not to mention it comes in ‘candy’ colors like blue, green, red, etc.)
Thanks for the tip DeerCelica!

Flickr User Dividedby6 Has put together a group of some absolutely rad (and extremely well done) Photoshops of possible design schemes for the Ninja 250R. Personally I think that I like Medski’s Blue flame on white..
Anyways — If you’re looking for some possible Paint Schemes for your Ninja… This is a great place to start!
Looking to do some painting on your Ninja 250R? Or do you just need some touch up paint for a cracked faring or from some love bug destruction… Have no fear, Color Rite has you covered. They offer all the colors for a stock bike (Including Wheels and Frame) and have them available in sizes ranging from a touch-up pen to a full quart.
Take note tho… All of us crazy cats with Candy Plasma Blue -or- Passion red need a base coat as well to get the match done right. So if you plan on painting your chain guard or some of the plastic insets — make sure you do it right and get both colors to match.
