Default plasti dipping my fairings

So I started plasti dipping my fairings last night and so far so good the paint seems very durable and is work/cost effective, no sanding or other prep work involved besides a good cleaning. With a total cost of around 45$ to do everything id definitely recommend it to anyone looking to paint there bike. Now my black and purple 100$ fairings look great! I went with flat white with flat red accents. I'll post before and after pics once completely finished

I was thinking of doing this too. I'd love to have a flat white w/ flat black accents. What'd you do with the decals? Does the plasti dip cover them up?

I did the tail pieces on my old ZX6E a year ago. Looked decent enough, I guess. Unfortunately they lasted all of a month or two before they started peeling-

I'll be done with them today hopefully, I changed my mind and went with white and black accents but you have to pay special attention to spraying under the fairing lip
