the idea is to lightly dust it with your paint. dont saturate the fabric or it will get gross and peal/crack. lightly spray it until it looks like it has a layer of black dust on it. then after it dries do it again, but dont let the paint get too thick. i could take several coats
Black is hot in the summer man. It would look sick if you sprayed over that nettinga nd made a patern after applying the matte black. Mybe in a slightly ligher shade of chracoal/grey, or even OD, FD, or any other subdued color. That way you have a black pack with a slight ghostly look from a distance! Do what you want, airbrushing is easier for applying light coats such as what Augie here suggested. He's, right too.
I was thinking along those lines. Persoanly Its cheaper than buying a assault rig, yet stills allows me to reach around and drop my C mag when it runs out. and since it has a handle on the bottom of the pack, I'm thinkging about useing that to add on something like a web belt or something else to allow me to add something of more useage.
