Painted Suitcase, an unusual custom painting work
This is a Royal Traveler suitcase from the 1960s. The owner wanted a guitar painted on it. I took photos of two guitars from his collection, and chose this Gibson. I used acrylic paint, and finished it with Rustoleum 2X Ultra Cover Clear Gloss sealer. I would not recommend checking this bag at the airport, though!
Handpainted vintage suitcases seem to be a popular idea, but most I've seen have floral designs on them. The guitar theme is unique.
