I made this to sell because I am in need of cash, but I am definitely going to be sad when the day comes. Just have to seal, so I consider this finished.
Please lmk if you have any advice or comments so that I can get better next time. I had so much fun doing this and will be on the lookout for another bag to make my own.
Hi all!
Hoping you can give some advice/ insight for this bag.
My vintage speedy 30 has been a labor of love- see my original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/projectbags/s/jG2l5ENHHt
Well, she came back from her custom paint job and was PERFECT! I used her a few times and noticed her paint was a little tacky, but didn’t think too much of it since it’s summer and hot here. Then one day I took her out, mind you was still within about a month of getting her back, and I noticed that she was all discolored on her paint job. 😭😭😭
I reached out to the artist, who suggested I send it back so she could touch it up. She said she used a varnish and a plastic coating (on top of the Angelus paints) originally and that may have been what I had discolored. I sent the bag back, she touched it up and sent it back and I got it this week. It looks good again, isn’t tacky at all, but she did mention she did not seal at this time.
My question now is should I leave well enough alone, or should I seal it myself? I’ve done a few projects for fun myself to try out painting and sealed all of them with Angelus Matte acrylic finisher. None of them yellowed in the few months since I did them.
Has anyone done any paint jobs like this? Did you seal? What did you use? Thoughts???
Thanks in advance!!!
