I'll be interested in hearing how these panels look and fit. It seems to be the only option for these pickups. As far as dulling down the shine... I would be concerned about using an off the shelf can of clear from your local hardware store on these panels. I have no experience with them, but I would imagine you will need to flex and twist these panels to get them in place. With all the little details on the surface of the panels, there is a lot of room for error in not prepping all the little nooks and crannies. I'd also worry about the longevity of this clear. Since you have to prep the surface by scuffing it, I would be curious if steel wool or a fine scotchbrite might knock down the shine, followed by some type of non-shine protectant like a wax or other compound. If this does not work, Cerakote might be a more durable and long-lasting product which has great adhesion when prepped properly, plus how thinly it can be applied is another benefit. As I mentioned, I have no experience with this, and these are just some things to consider. I would hate to have to remove all these panels if something went awry. Good luck and keep us posted.
