Painted Ventura Bag

Postby hoffy » Sat Dec 30, 2006 12:06 pm

I bought this shitter Ventura bag off Ebay, everything on the bag was great except some dick left it out in the sun for 6 months and it faded. So I bought it for a second bag to use for PI.

Unhappy with its faded appearance I decided to paint it, and I have to tell you It came up a treat.

I washed the bag thoroughly, dried it for several days, masked up the bits I didn't want painted and applied 3 coats of special paint and let it dry for a day. It looks ace here are some pics.

aaahhhhhh....the Grand Tourer is almost complete.

now where did I put those panniers ??

hmm, definately something to think about for me, my only problem is the plastic tabs on the corners of the handles have fallen apart on mine.
