Flat works best for cloth, I've found. The clear seems to, for some reason, want to peel more, penetrate less. Although, I did do a shirt with clear, and it made color dye take a different shade on a shirt.

I would say flat is best.

There's a lot that could be said about that statement, but I realize it was in jest.

Besides, if you want to see some jaded MF, go to a VFW and have a beer. I couldn't exit fast enough.

Thanks. The issue I'm having with the clear coat is that it becomes cloudy on abrasion. So what is happening is that it looks like there are faint white streaks over the black paint. I haven't had any problem with flaking or cracking but I did make sure to put it on very thin.

I just upgraded from my Chrome Citizen, to a Reload backpack. Oh. My. God.
It's technically not custom, as I got it from their custom stock, but it's in my favorite colors, so I couldn't pass it up!

I could fit ANYTHING in this bag! Expensive, but definitely worth the dough.



A few more on my Flickr...

Are you really small or is that bag like the size of an army footlocker?

I'm not a big guy... 5'9 and like 135 lbs... so basically I'm pretty small, and the bag is pretty huge.

Yeah, that's right. The strap pad is green.

Doesn't get more custom than that.

maybe a shot from the front while the bag is on, im curious as to the strap configuration because the reload site only shows one pic and its from the back. also a look at individual compartments would be great. thanks!

Hey, ch0mb0 bumped this just in time... I ordered my semi-custom Bagaboo this morning! An M size classic model with a couple of extra yummy bits like the extra shoulder strap stolen from the new workhorse model. It'll be all black with orange accents. Not too original, but I love that look.
Countdown starts from 30 days... (hopefully less)

For a few seconds I thought that was a cleverly detailed backpack and the cabinet that it's sitting on was part of the design..
