    Hi there. I can't help much, but my late 1998 (November), is an original yellow model (its on the underseat plate). Obviously left/right and head fairings were changed by one the previous owners and well...the yellow color is quite different from the original one: depending on the light it can be very obvious sometimes. Since then, I'm afraid that all the about 400$ China made fairings you can find anywhere will do the job but if you keep one or two parts in the original color (like fuel tank, right in the middle of the machine), the match will be acceptable, but definitely visible. For the past 6 months, I'm actually unsuccessfully looking for good 2nd hand original yellow fairings to replace these "added" parts or: if not findable, I might consider a full paint job (but ouch, €€€! 1000€ at least)

    I recently had some plastic painted.... while still $$$, talk to your painter and see if you can get a better deal if you prep all the parts first.... mine said, final sanding with 600 grit... I used wet paper, keeping it rinsed/soaked, it worked the best.
    I have two seat cowls in yellow and they don't match, likely due to sun fade. Close enough to the surrounding tail, but different. That yellow pearl will be difficult to duplicate if one is only painting one panel...
