Motorcycle Painting - Damaged Motorcycle Fairings After Repair
You don't have to worry about removing the fairings, cleaning the parts, and correcting paint defects because you've already done that. However, pay attention to paint imperfections and runs. The fairings need to be polished, and any imperfections and runs should be removed.
It's a mistake to think that a sticker will cover imperfections. Unfortunately, it won't. In particular, pearl glitter or sun-catching stickers will reveal all the imperfections.

Stickers on a Clear-Coated Gas Tank.
A special type of stickers used in most motorcycle brands and models are decals applied to the gas tank of the motorcycle. In most cases, they are additionally covered with clear coat. Do stickers on the gas tank need to be clear-coated? Yes, factory-installed gas tank stickers are applied over the clear coat. This is related to the destructive effect of fuel on the graphic surface. In short, stickers without UV laminate could be damaged by gasoline.
Applying Motorcycle Stickers Wet.
Correctly applying these elements is particularly important because it directly affects the aesthetic appearance of the tank after applying the clear coat.
How to Apply a Sticker Without Air Bubbles?
Incorrect application, not following the artistry, can result in the painter having to redo the tank's clear coat, causing you additional costs and headaches ;) That's why the technique, methods, and requirements for applying these stickers will be discussed in a separate article.
Is It Necessary to Clear-Coat the Entire Piece? Wrapping Fairings After Removing Damaged Stickers.
Applying stickers to the side of a motorcycle with old paint is often much more complicated, and the result is not as spectacular as when applied to freshly painted parts. This is due to the motorcycle's use and the impact of Mother Nature on the paint.
Stickers on Scratched Motorcycle Fairings. Cracked Motorcycle Side Panels.
Enemy number 1 is chips and scratches on the paint that occur during normal motorcycle use. Small scratches can sometimes be concealed by stickers. However, this approach won't work if we're dealing with paint chips or, even worse, cracks in the fairings.
Removing Old Stickers from a Motorcycle.
In the case of repainting the fairings, we don't need to be particularly careful when removing decals because any damage to the motorcycle components will be covered with new paint anyway.
If we leave the old paint layer, the situation becomes more complicated, and the time required to remove old decals increases significantly.
