The advantage of as Camo paint job ...

Postby GPW » Mon Mar 13, 2017 6:48 am

Dear Folks , after all this time here , we’ve come to the conclusion that the biggest problem for any Foamie left outside is Dirt and mold ... All we ever have to do is wash it , but that can be a challenge ... Sure we painted our trailer to match the House ( because we Had that color exterior paint leftover ) looks good and all ( to the wife ) but it quickly shows dirt and eventually mold ... Our first trailer (plywood) started out white with a torquoise trim ( like the local boats) ... that showed dirt like crazy ...forever washing the outside ... the cure was the Camo paint job ... Once we painted it that camo color scheme it seems as nothing showed on it , and the dirtier it got, the better it looked . Plus it really became more “invisible” to a lot of people ... more unnoticed , than something “cute” RV ish’ ... Plus it has a cool military look to it ...
here are some before and after pics of the results from my album ..

Seriously thinking of painting the FoamStream in camo ... :roll:

Bonnie , please send more pics of your progress. We're certainly curious about the add on . You know we all want to try that ! Foam so easy to work with and all .


Another day , I was just trying to say ^ you don’t have to wash a camo paint job as much as a solid light color. . Out here in the woods , things just naturally get dirty and green ”stuff” grows on everything , naturally, and quick too . Those with a closed in garage are truly blessed !

Ken , how are you ? You guys have been Everywhere and back again in your camper ! You must hold the record for Foamie travel 8) . I’m guessing your Foamie is easy to wash , the skin and all eh ??? It looked Great when you were here... ;)
