I got a set of unPainted fairings from China. Is it fairly easy for me to paint myself or should I take it into a shop? Not trying to do anything fancy. Maybe matte black and throw some stickers on there.

Just be sure to use a two-part clear (available in rattle can) as the single stage clear doesnt hold up.
I painted my race fairings for under $100 with rattle can paint and clear.
My buddy did his gals track bike with quality paint and spray gun, materials only I believe were over $400.

If they're ABS, the paint isn't going to stick very well unless you use the right primer. Use a.semi-flexible primer (ask for bumper primer at a parts store, they'll know).
