I have and it was actually the one hardest part on the bike to paint with all of the corners, and sides. I painted mine several times before I was happy with it.

You have a manual AND a electronic cruise control installed?

LOL, yes, I had both for a very short time. The picture was taken just after I finished the cruise control install and I had not removed the other yet.
After the first ride with real cruise, I pitched it in the trash!!!!!!!

Yes a body shop did the painting just find a shop that builds trikes and ask them who
does their painting.

An automotive paint store can mix it for you with paint code. Check Google for local paint stores. I was told the official color is Issuzu Red. Take in a side panel or a painted flat surface and they take a pic with a special camera and then they mix a 16 oz rattle can of enamel matching paint---last can cost me about $21. In bright sunlight, it may not be 100% perfect, but it is hard to beat for about $22. I pulled the speaker grilles out to keep the black contrast.

Did you also get a spray can of clear to go on after you did the red?
