Looks good. Could have tried PlastiDip. I did some PlastiDip work on my street glide and loved it.

Patience is the key. Rustolium makes a similar spray that I have had good success with. The first time I used it I puddled it, but wiped the excess with my finger and kept adding coats. Came out smooth.
Those bags look great xBobbyx.

Looks great. What paint did you use. I stopped using plastic dip didn't seem to hold up the the Sun and you being from Vegas you get plenty of Sun and Heat.

VHT Epoxy has worked well for me.

Thanks. The bags turned out better than I expected. The spray paint does look good. It's little things like that,that I think BRP should think about. They should come black already. Just my opinion.
