QB Carbon G/F Fairings - Any Good ???

After the last-but-one rideout peppered my formerly pristine nosecone with stonechips (that's what you get for chasing 999S's about), it's time to think about different fairing panels.

My thinking is that original plastics in top nick are getting difficult to find, and mine are pretty good apart from the nosecone, so I'm going to get the stone chips repaired then into the shed or up the loft with 'em covered in bubblewrap.

I will then need new fairings (which I would need for trackdays anyhow), so, the choices...

QB Carbon Fairings: More than I can afford and tricky to get a really good quality paint job as I understand it.

Ricambi Weiss: Cheap and cheerful, but would need painting

QB Glassfibre Fairings: Half the price of their carbon and I think I read somewhere that their gel coat finish is so good it doesn't need painting and, since it's coloured right the way through, should be more impervious to future stone chips - so these look favourite.

Can anyone confirm the above?
