Can you folks that have painted, maybe those that have not will know answer a question for me? With the side cases, V35s or Kawasaki, what exactly does the "C35 covers" get you? If you order the GIVI V35 let's say matte black and then decide later you want to paint them to match the bike does that mean you need to order the "C35 covers" ?

You have order covers at least on the bags from kawasaki. Otherwise nothing holds on the reflectors and you will have leaky bags due to the holes for attaching the covers...

Ok so then i fI get Givi bags they will have the covers on them and if I want to paint them I just take them off and go for it?
