when I bought my sammi it was faded blue with the factory stripe kit. i peeled the stripes off and sanded it down for paint to stick to. I then painted with gunmetal grey duplicolor rattlecans. As most of you know the body is not real smooth on these from the factory so I left it flat to disguise it. Recently I bought 6 cans of green brown and tan camo paint and used a fern stem and a palm frond to paint it again. Looks great for a cheap low labor paint job.
