    Thumbs up Why purchase expensive colored panels?

    Rattle can peelable paint. When I get tired of this color, I will simply peel off the paint and pick my next color.

    Default Works for me.....

    I have used the pasti-dip a few times to see what a change would look like and then peeled it off if not to my liking. Some do not like the work involved so they do have the option of ordering the available colors from the dealer.....The ryker has this but someone could start an exchange program where you send in your panels and they send you out the color of choice.....

    I've done the same thing to some of the chrome on my RT. Specifically, the chrome parts that read "CanAm." I used black. It's not shown in the picture (that reminds me, I need to update the photo of my Spyder).

    Plasti dip works great and lasts. Armor all shines it up and keeps it fresh. less fading. Used for years on my last motorcycle. If you put a few layers of white plasti-dip first the overlaying color will be brighter.
