I like the leather one. I would match the leather saddle bag that I sometimes use.

I like the leather one. I would match the leather saddle bag that I sometimes use. The company that makes the trunk also makes the saddlebags. They both come in tan or black. According to the place that sells them, the saddlebags are out of stock and should be available late August. I really like the tan saddlebags too. Is this what you sometimes use?   |

That would be sweet if you could get em! My bag is tan and my ruck is black so it looks kinda funky together, so I don't often use it, that and it will ruin in the rain.

scuffing and painting a black one would work
you can paint anything to match as long as you prep it right
the base color under everything on my scoot that i painted red is black so if the part was white i painted it black then red

Yes, prep is all important, that and patience. A trunk that matches your scoot would be very sharp!

for base colors white makes things "pop" more and black makes for a deeper color

If you find a krylon fuzion color that you want its made for plastic and all you need to day is spray it on clean plastic. I've used it before and it works well.
