tank decal cover up

I've been looking for a way to cover my tank decals and can find no suitable product. On my black 300...I'd want a matte or even gloss coverup...an exact replacement. Only purpose is to black the tank out.
Does anyone know if this exists ?
Does anyone know where I can get a Kawi OEM decal, from which I can scan and cut a replacement
Thanks

When waxing...can you come up to the edge of it without it flaking or softening

To remove Plasti-dip, you have to peel it off. I would only think this would be a good option if you were planning on covering the entire tank and not just the Kawasaki decal.

You could always do the same that I did and just place a black Kawasaki decal over the existing white one. You could still see the lettering, but it was very stealth.

I've seen decals on net but they are not "tank" specific ??
Or...have I just had my fairing decals off so long i didnt realize that both are interchangeable. The pic you posted is exactly what I'm trying to do. Can you provide link to your supplier
thanks
