ddomski--that's a good thought, a backpack should sell before school starts.

I think there are basically few options: new paint will flake, new paint will damage basic material, new paint will not stick to mateiral or everything would be fine.
So you may be lucky in 25% of cases))) So you can try)

It all depends on the material you backbapck is made of, and a paint you want to use)]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2011 01:06:27 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47896&PID=1061526#1061526 Dying a backpack : Just want to see if it can be... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47896&PID=1061523#1061523 Author: SunFish

considering its waterproof, l woulnd't say it would absorb it that great. maybe you should just slap some pins on it instead to personalize it and add more color ]]> Sun, 17 Jul 2011 20:48:40 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47896&PID=1061472#1061472 Dying a backpack : google is an amazing tool... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47896&PID=1061471#1061471 Author: batmanwest

Has anybody tried to dye a white backpack a different color? Just wondering if the waterproof material would absorb the dye, or would it rub off on your clothes, or just make a messy looking backpack by not soaking into the material? ]]> Sat, 16 Jul 2011 22:33:39 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=47896&PID=1061206#1061206
