That'll work Martin but it won't do much good for looks, if it's on your RT. How about some self-stick scuff pads? IMO - won't look as bad and you can remove them, or there are quite a few self-stick clear scuff kits that are easy to apply and just as cheap as bedliner paint...
I don't know how to attach a link or I would, can anyone chime in and help???

     I have also thought of painting my K5 side cases from black to a bright color. The idea of the scratching was the first flaw that I came up with. So I gave up on the idea.
     Done right painted on black bed liner could give a bike that post modern industrial look. "MAD MAX" You would never need to clean them. No one would mistake them for theirs. They would never get stolen. I like the idea. If I was a GS kinda of guy I would think about painting the whole bike with that stuff. That would be easy living. As far has the color goes check out;
Durabak™... a "do-it-yourself" polyurethane truck bed liner in a can. Brush, roll or spray on. @

I would suggest that try a test spot on a hidden part of the case first just in the stuff would not work or cause damage.
I this helps.

   RUST OLLEUM BLACK (gloss 'cause I had it)  FROM A CAN, A 3" PAINT ROLLER AND SOME TEXTURE STUFF IN A BAG FROM A PAINT STORE....., I MIXED ABOUT 20% BY VOL OF THE TEX STUFF (LIKE A PAPER MACHE) to a small amount of rust oleum and rollered it on, repainted next day,     looks good, not shiny, if I get it acratched, I ak sure I can use a dull spray paint on it or send the 2 minutes to mix up more of the "stuff" and re roller.
