I'm looking at getting the black ones, but I thought I remembered reading somewhere about the paint coming off.

Tell me your good or bad experience.

Thanks thumb

I have had 12' Black Talon for almost a year and no flaking.

I would suggest the tilt brackets. Ive had to tilt mine to get under covered parking and bridges

They had a paint batch problem, but addressed it and all should be good now.

I have had my 2 Red 12' for about a year with no problems. Does anyone know of any cool looking covers. I bought the 12' covers and to my surprise they go about half way down them. I just assumed they were longer.

Mine chipped off at the bottom. Sent them pics and got a new one with no problem. Great customer service. Haven't had any problems with the paint on the new one so I believe it was a bad batch.

I got my 10' Black last April and by July the bottom part had started chipping. I called customer service and they were aware of this issue and said to ship it back. Got a new one within a week. So far so good on the new one.
