Black System Panniers

it is important to make this cut as straight and continuous as possible. Measure 275mm from the factory cut edge at several points along the length of vinyl and then join up the dots with a pen and ruler.
Carefully, using a very sharp knife, cut the excess off and keep the bit that you cut off - it will come in handy later

Prepare your washing up liquid with a wee drop of water mixed in
Then start coating the area you are going to cover. I started at the opposite end to the mounting lock on the side of the pannier. You can do one section at a time (so it doesn't dry out). Make sure you cover the steel brackets and plastic corner pieces with soloution because the vinyl will stick to them
Then peel back about 6" of the backing paper and line the vinyl up with the top edge (the pannier lid seal) and plunge on in there

And voila you have your black (or whatever colour you choose) panniers.
You will need to leave them for a while to let the soloution dry out and the adhesive to adhere. Don't bother about the rivets and the holes for the lid locks the now.. you'll have to leave things to dry out a bit and adhere. To be continued...

what about the wee bubbles i see on them?
GOTC
It's half-term the now and I can't get any peace to do anything
A shopping trip provided me with the "space" to get on with this
The bubbles die down after a few hours as the WUL dries out and the adhesive binds. The larger bubbles can be pricked with a fine needle and the air teased out. You have to wait for the glue to get a chance to bind as it wont when the surface is still wet.
I did say "to be continued"
