Default Batwing Inner fairing coating

While looking at my friends '10 Street Glide it appears the inner fairing has a different coating then previous years. Kind of almost looks like a flat paint color. Has anyone else noticed this? The dealer also lists a different part number for it than previous years. My '09 is fading on top and I'm wondering if that new coating will hold up better than previous years.

Went from an -08 to an -08A. I'm guessing it was due to all the complaints of fading.

Do you think it will hold up better?

I don't know, but I'd say that it probably would.

Use some Mother's Back to Black on it. I was able to rub out most of the whiteness on mine. One of these winters I'll paint it.
