GSA Panniers Painting?

[ianran]

HI
Notice my panniers are getting a little furry as you would expect with ally.
Anyone had experience painting these? I use all year round so keen for a good protective finish.

I had them done with a load of other parts, but you should be able to convince your local powdercoater to do a set for between £40/£50 I expect.
Just remember to ask for a matt finish unless you like the 'gloss' look

Thanks for that I am in the wilds of Lincolnshire so may struggle to find someone. Did you strip all the bits you didnt want donew or did they just mask them off?

Did this to mine!

They look neat, couple of questions,
are you a professional sprayer?
did you mask off the locks? and
finally what primer did you use?

I stripped everything, just asked them to mask the extrusion strip.

I just Googled 'powdercoating Lincolnshire' - seems to be a few within the county

Excellent, wouldnt mind mine getting that sort of treatment but Im a bit ham fisted! How much do the sheets of images cost? Are they your design?

I have to say that PD's bike looks great in the flesh.

Great advert for his business

The wrapping looks really good on the bike and is a great way to personalise your pride and joy without needing to get stuff painted.

Why the feck he didn't tell me before I had all my panels painted I don't know......

 

[scubaGSA]

That looks 'proper' that does!!!!

 

[ianran]

So how much does it cost to gift wrap panniers and top box???

Not quite the same thing, but had this done by an artist (Juma) during a trip to Malawi
