I'd be more interested to know if whatever coating will resist road salt in our crappy winters, or at least be easy to clean leaving the surface intact.Depends on how the bike is looked after, as you can see from the pics the paint on mine has lasted quick well over 8yrs. I got a quote back from that dipping place £190, which I will give a miss as I can get all 4 covers in good to mint cond. off ebay for £250 or powder coated for a shit load less than that. But first Im gonna ask my local sprayer to see what price he can do.
In the meantime, still looking for them thar covers..
