sorry, don't know the size of your panniers, but the oven racks should remove to give you enough space i would think. and no............it gives you a very smooth finish. i also sprayed one part with a clear coat enamel as i wanted a high gloss, extra waterproofing feature. i did this on my speedo cover that sits between the two gas tanks. it is now 4 years old and still looks great after the sun, rain, odd gas splash and also ignition keys hitting it occasionally. there is also another thought i had, maybe someone knows this paint process, the name escapes me. i had an old panhead that i had painted with an electo-static(?) finish. when the paint is sprayed on and an electric charge put on it, it causes the paint to become velvet-like in texture. it was great and very durable for repelling scratches, oil, gas and small knocks and bumps. but i don't know if it would be compatable on aluminum. just a thought, K
