So I have a fairing on the way to me right now I don't want to paint it was thinking about covering the front half it in Leather or something like and then just painting the back shell black or rino lining it.

Has anyone done this sort of thing?

There used to be a guy on here that had his whole bike rino lined.  I have never seen a leather wrapped fairing though.  I would think with time the leather would fade and possible start to crack.  It's possible you could find one of those batwing style bras to put on instead since those are made to be out in the weather.

I have seen a couple of them that have the upper half in leather and the lower half painted.  I am thinking way outside the box, but if you used velcro and positioned it properly and then had some-type of solid edge attachment (strapping, either colored with the leather/bike, black or chrome) depending on the bike and leather color it might work.  Maybe you could rhino line the bottom half the color of the bike and leather the top half in some sort of leather print/embossed that matched your seats (yes, would have to do the seats too), but thats how I roll...lol!!!  Chrome to the MAX!!!

Chad wasn't that orange bike (you posted a picture from LSR) that had the long horns and leather on the fairing?

I had seen one powder coated once from an X rider out of Jennings. I was helping a friend install a helicopter engine and he road up ,had the bags coated also ...looked pretty tough.... just  my $0.02 worth....
