Never having tried this myself, I would guess that spray painting your backpack might just be a disaster!. I suppose (depending on the colors) the plaid could be covered with enough layers!. I would be more concerned about the mess!. Even when stenciled, spray paint can be difficult to control - it goes everywhere!. also, spray paint is likely to crack and flake when dry!.

If your backpack is cotton you might try painting it with acrylic paint!. I once cut up a large acrylic painting (on canvas) and sewed it into a raincoat!. It repelled water very nicely!. If you do use acrylic make sure to use a medium or heavy bodied paint and a stiff bristled brush in order to work it into the fabric well!. This could be very cool!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
