NOTES:
Thoroughly wipe inside and outside of old suitcase and rack before painting.
- Clean the surfaces of the suitcase and suitcase rack thoroughly with a damp paper towel.
- Using a small roller, paint all sides of suitcase and hardware in Timeless.
- Cover the inside suitcase fabric with painter's tape and paint along the suitcase edges in Timeless.
- Use painter's tape to adhere the stencil of your choice onto the top of the suitcase.
- Gently dip a stencil brush into Legacy and dab onto a paper towel to remove excess paint. Dab the paint onto the stencil, using a light up-and-down motion. Move the stencil onto the other edge of the suitcase and repeat. Use Serene on the small striping.
- Continue stenciling on the handle side of the suitcase, carefully matching stripes.
- Paint the suitcase rack in Timeless using a 2" flat brush. Place the suitcase onto the rack. Attach with E6000 Glue and/or screws for added durability.
- Apply a coat of Ultra-Matte Varnish to the entire surface.
