Adding a windshield bag

I bought a nice but inexpensive windshield bag from jafrum.com to add to my bike.

It came in looking as good as their stock photo.  The only problem was that it didn't fit Alice's windshield strap.  I had to end up making a bracket to fit it out of aluminum bar stock.

For some reason, I wasn't liking the look of the aluminum.  I'm not much on shiny, and if I'd have my druthers, every piece of chrome on the bike would instead be flat black.  That's just me...  So I got some paint.  I found Rustoleum undercoating and thought that would be perfect.  The only problem is that it took forever to dry!

I couldn't bring myself to cover the chrome bolt I got at H&S for about $4, so I left it shiny.  Here's a picture from a few feet away.

I feel like it looks a lot less obtrusive.  No compliments either way on it so far.  Here's the before picture, along with my awesome helper:

Here's the after picture.  It works just fine (and I've always been more about functionality anyhow).

Does this count as cosmetic damage?

I am hating on some careless woman right now. Stopped at Heine Bros. for a cup of coffee and ran over this in the lot with my back wheel. Pink nail polish! I removed one large shard by hand then got down on the ground and looked at it closely. I couldnt hear any air escaping so I dabbed some water on the area to see if I could see or hear anything escaping. So far so good but im gonna have to get it checked soon. Damnit.
