I myself am looking to do this to my ram air cover. I think you should get a decent quality wrap with air escape technology like 3m/vivid etc otherwise you will end up with bubbles. Gloss looks the best to me but depends which part of the bike tbh

i prefer the gloss,but the actual black panel is a satin (part 83600-MEE)
i don’t mind paying extra for decent vinyl if it does the job nicely.Also, I don’t want to paint spray them as I want to be able to put them back to standard so may give it a go 👍
