I've been debating between the LP and Conely's bags, and was leaning more towards the LP's because they're made in the USA, fit super close to the bike with a cleaner mounting system, and Garry seems like a great guy. When I saw these pictures, though, I got concerned. Has anyone else had their LP bags fade, like american19? Can they be treated with something to bring back the black?

The good news is there is an easy fix for the faded bags. Rustoleum makes a product called "Fabric and Vinyl" spray (gloss black) that brings these back to like new color. Below is a pic of a bag that I just sprayed the back half of with 2 light coats.
` It is available at most large hardware chains or online. I have done a few pair (including mine) and all it takes is 2-3 light coats. We are in the process of sending all people who bought these bags a bottle of the 303 stuff and offering them to send the bags back to us to have us bring the color back if they have already faded and don't want to spray them with the Rustoleum spray themselves. I know this is going to cost us a lot of money, but you guys paid good money for black bags, not purple.
Keep ridin"
