Default Matte Clearcoat for Interior Trim

I would like to buy a set of carbon fiber seat inserts like the ones below:

https://www.koshigroup.com/product/j...drest-inserts/

They are gloss though and I would like to match them to the matte carbon fiber console in my interior. Can anyone recommend a good UV resistant spray? I have heard they come in 10%-30%. Anyone know how to match the OE finish?

Yeah that's where I'm getting it! I want them matte though so I'm trying to figure out how to match the finish on my console.

This is what I have done to interior pieces in my own vehicle. It is important to know how and what these pieces are made from before you do anything. You would need to either wrap them in satin clear or spray them with a satin clear. If these are real carbon fiber pieces you should be able to scuff them with a scotchbrite pad, clean them well and spray them with the satin clear.I would apply three coats allowing at least 5 to 10 minutes between coats. Any automotive style paint will work. You can buy what you need at any auto parts store that sells and mixes paint. If these are plastic instead of carbon fiber you will need to scuff them with a scotchbrite pad, clean them well and then spray one coat of adhesion promoter and then once that flashes off spray them with three coats of satin clear allowing 5 to 10 minutes between coats. I would let them sit for 24 hours before installing them in the car. If they are printed or if the finish is a digital print then it gets more complicated to paint them. I would get them wrapped in a satin clear protective film.
