I agree with what's been said, if you really want it waterproof, pack in ziplock backs or drybags, inside the panniers ( or get ready to ride with the panniers wide open after rainy weather, to dry them out!)
uhhhh... damn. I thought i had the only neon flecked green Longbikes around! Greg gave the site of all the powdercoats he could use, and I picked one that was a metallic flecked green. Said he had never done that before, but liked it a lot when it was done. And I thought I was "special".
sun is washing it out here a bit but...
