Derekj said:I would not plasti them as it peels off, especially when chips occur . Get yourself a good primer and urethane based paint. If it were mine, I would paint the sides white to match your bike and the front, top and rear , red to match the wheels and any red decals you may have.
I agree with the other statements made, it doesn't hold up that well, but its cheap, easy, and completely reversible. I actually think it would hold up well on the fork protectors because that is an area that doesnt get much abrasion. I would not put it on say the tank where your knees are constantly rubbing.78YZ said:Thanks for the input. I've never used plasti-dip. Does it hold-up to mud and dirt?
squarebore said:Wow, no offence intended but they are really ugly. Do you do any off Tarmac riding to warrant the protection? Maybe they look better in real life. I think matte black is slimming. You can get satin or matte black in a rattle can of auto acrylic. Nice and safe to use as well.
Ok then, I believe in function over form or I wouldn't have butt ugly H&B alu standard panniers.78YZ said:No offense taken. I ride off-road frequently so protection is a must.
