Matt black Ali luggage

I really really hope they have a strong finish. If they don’t there will be a long line of warranty arguments and in a few years we will be reminiscing about that one year when they offered black panniers before they were pulled after six months.
 
How black should black be ?[/QUOTE]

Very black, apparently :D
 
If anyone’s interested in what the new black panniers look like.

That looks really good. I like.

I applied the pannier wrap from 2wheelhumvee and very satisfied with the outcome. Plastidip doesn't last long and painting it would require some skill in masking it off.
 
+1 for Humvee Graphics from me.... very straight forward to fit

I vinyl wrapped mine, a lot of messing around and very time consuming but well worth it in the end. If you use a good quality vinyl, 3m for example it’s pretty hard wearing.
After a tour around Europe it’s still looks like the day I applied it.

If you want to apply stickers on to the vinyl I recommend you use 3m preparation.

Did you split them open and re bolt/rivet them?
 
I’ve got Upol Raptor on my Land Rover bumpers. Total bit6h to apply. Your feet stick to the overspray on the floor and you can’t move. Gives a great finish, might be too coarse for boxes. Tough as anything I know. Had the misfortune of hitting an Astra up the rear, 5k plus damage to the Vauxhall. £0 to mine other than a slight scuff on the Raptor.
 
Ordered a set for top-box from Humvee, arrived quickly. Took top box off and gave it a good clean, opened up Humvee tube.....they've sent pannier rather than top box :( Hopefully they'll respond quickly and arrange to swap over...
 
I've been toying with the idea of giving mine a dose of cerakote when I get some time

Humvee were as good as gold and sent out the right labels for the top box. Had a go fitting today and quite pleased with the result. Couple of creases but that was my fault for rushing when peeling them off the sheet. Good spray with water/soap mix makes it a doddle to apply and adjust until happy. Thumbs-up from me for Humvee approach. I'll defo be using again from new.
