Ceramic Coating - Matt Paint

  1. I can't seem to find concrete answers on this, but can you use ceramic coating on matt paint? I've got a 1260 GT which is matt grey across most of it.

    As is, I use an air pressured paint gun to coat the bike with ACF 50 once every 6 months which keeps it in great condition and prevents rust. But I'm wondering if it's worth slapping a ceramic coat over the bike on top of the ACF 50 for even further protection. As I only clean it once every 6 months to reapply the ACF 50, I'm looking for something to help keep the bike that little bit more sparkly over the span of the months.

    Thoughts?
     
  2. Doubt ceracoat over acf would work but someone more knowledgable will be along soon I’m sure.
     
  3. I had a customer the other day on a new Scrambler with the matte red paintwork. Looked mint and got chatting. He's got his own detailing business and he'd ceramic coated that. I think he'd used Gtechniq product on it.

  4. Use a specific matt ceramic coating, like Nanolex (I used that on my white supersport), graphene coatings are better though, not sure if you can get matt yet.
