The local retired shopowner/framebuilder/painter in Lititz, Rodney Moseman recommends the SKS/Esge fenders as being very easy to paint. His personal bicycles have painted fenders that have not chipped for 10 years.

I thought Bluemels were a different company than SKS? But there are some UK & German sites showing "SKS Bluemels"... was the name & design bought out?
