General topics » Pannier lids painting

Anyone know a good inexpensive paintshoo that would paint my pannier/topbox lids imperial blue to match my R1250RS.
Think they are painted grey , not got the bike yet

They are just gray plastic. Not even painted which is good if they are going to be painted.

Ady, if you don’t mind the ride over, then 8Ball in Derbyshire could be worth trying, they claim to be BMW approved and as I recall from an earlier thread they were responsible for the Iconic special version paintworks on 1200RS models released by UK dealerships in 2017.

I haven’t had reason to use them myself, but the website looks good - worth checking their pricing perhaps?

Yes, but is it Imperial blue?
😁🍺 Ady

I picked my Imperial Blue RS up Saturday and the luggage is the metallic black. Really a let down that you can't get them in the same color especially given the price you pay for them. I too have tossed around the idea of having them sprayed to match.

Have you thought about having them wrapped, I did with mine because I keep knocking the right hand box when I get off. You can get any colour you like and it can be removed or redone if you scratch them.

These are now painted and I get delivery on 3 days.

Painted pannier lids look really great.

I had mine done before I picked my RS up.

So did I Fugly, I get the bike tomorrow but can't ride it till Sunday.

They do look great.

But they just keep getting scratched.

If you ride anywhere.

Money better spent on fuel and hotels.

It’s called “patina” isn’t it.
