Has anyone painted their m101 cover? (with Behr or something else)

hi.

I have 2 m101a2s that I got this year. Both came tan (pic shown), and have tan tarps that were like new (I got lucky).

I painted one of them tan again using Behr (based on the excellent advice about Behr on this forum), and with the tan cover that it came with it is good to go.



The other trailer I am thinking of painting nato green using Behr (since the tan one came out great with Behr and is holding up well). I am wondering what I can do to change the color of the tan cover to the same nato green color.

I know I could buy a green cover, or nato camo cover, but I want to use the one I have since it is like new.

I know I could just use the tan cover with the nato green m101a2 trailer, but I would like it to match (if possible).


So, has anyone painted their m101 trailer cover (with Behr or some other paint), and if yes, how did it turn out and stand up over time.

thanks in advance

Haven't used the Behr on a trailer cover, but I have put Cool-Seal on a vinyl 16 x 16 frame tent where it was getting a bit thin. Done about 18 months ago and it seems to be holding up. The Cool-Seal is an elastometric and has more flex. Area painted is just below the capital "C" in this Google Earth image.
