You have a 2k2 400ex, so the shield shouldnt look that bad, if you paint it it wont come out looking as good as the rest of the bike most likely....but if you do, sand it down, primer it and then apply your paint

I painted mine with high temp paint-I went with yellow to match the plastic.I just used a wire wheel attached to a bench grinder to get the orignal piant off and then painted with the new color.I also painted the bolts black-looks real good.
