Ordering some new fairings for my bike and I’ve got some questions about ceramic coating.

Details on fairings
- ABS plastic
- Matte finish for both colors
- Planning on vinyl wrapping the underside of the tail to matte black

Since the fairings are new and the paint is too, could I get away just wiping the surface with alcohol and just applying the coating or do I need a full detail then apply it?

Anything special I need to do to coat the vinyl or what?
Since it’s matte any special compounds or anything needed due to the finish?

since it’s matte finish check with the manufacturer per their care instructions, but typically is difficult to maintain from what I understand about it and what I know about paint and it’s care. You shouldn’t need to do much prep other than what you suggested. I’d honestly consider getting them wrapped in high wear areas with matte clear and ceramic the rest. Do your research on ceramic coatings as there are all sorts of average to shit  choices out there.

Its a chinese company, their english in emails is mediocre at best.

But several other R6 guys bought them and liked them. I saw a set of theirs in person and was impressed with the finish and fitment. So it’s why I went with them.

I’ve seen a similar matte finish on the 17+ R6's and liked it.
