That is a sharp look.
|
It does seem to balance up the fork guards and to me makes the bike look longer.
|
Indeed, that is an excellent suggestion, and looks very good. :tup: I will seriously consider this option, along with basic black. :)

It's funny how out of place the stock panniers look to me, after seeing the photoshop options.
|
Painting the embossed area of black panniers is starting to appeal most to me. :) I not only like the appearance, I think the black background also enhances the visibility of the painted area of the pannier. ;)

Incidentally, I tried to remove the silver paint with the pannier with some brake fluid; it didn't work. :ohno: Rather than risking damage to the plastic with a more aggressive solvent, I have decided to paint the panniers black with Krylon Fusion spray paint. Then I will probably paint the embossed area of the panniers with orange spray paint. :)

Did you allow the brake fluid to remain on the paint for a minute, before wiping it off?
|
Yes, I waited ten minutes, and the brake fluid didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever. :shrug:
|
I think the silver pannier sides were an attempt to give it the allusion of aluminum panniers.

I agree, I think that is the reason for the silver paint. ;)
|
They fooled me. I thought they were aluminum, until this thread started.

Spud
did you ever actually do the paint job? |
