Get some carbon fibre vinyl wrap and cover your screen that way.
Will be a damn sight easier and tidier that using spray cans which no matter how hard you try or how good a job you do will always look cheap and nasty
Using vinyl wrap will make it look like a proper expensive aftermarket screen,
Did it on my old XTZ looked good and had no issues with MOT.
Just remember your reduced visibility generally not an issue unless you going through some gnarly off-road sections.

I can't see anything in the regs , but I guess the question is Can you see the road?

The KTM 640 adventure was always solid!

I think it’s fairly normal to have a blacked out screnn

Don't do it Russ, nothing worse than not being able to see where your front wheel is when your off-roading .
