The saddlebags I bought said they were painted gloss black. Website and pictures are deceiving because theyโre actually painted a pearl black. That would have been helpful to know before hand and at the very least advertise it that way. Why you paint them that color is beyond me. Thereโs a lot more gloss black bikes out there than a pearl black. Even if you had a colored bike, at least gloss black would better match the bike instead of the pearl black. Someone please explain this to me.
