I have been wondering for a while now, has anybody attempted to camouflage a three wheeler with camo duct tape? i wonder how it would turn out, i have read a lot of negativity about using camoflauge wrapping. Has anybody done this? post pictures please

Try water transfer paint if you want a nice finish. I used Texas Hydro Coatings, but there are many others and the cost seemed to be less than a quality paint job would be.

Dura Coat is a indestructible finish for weapons. You can buy stencils for almost every camo pattern known to man. Also gives you the proper colors to make it look right. I've used it on tools and small metal parts prone to the elements.

Thanks for posting the link that displays the nice big pict of my camo 185 MonroeMike.
I didn't use the duct tape on mine but the moose cloth tape that's about 6 or 8" wide,
It costs a little more but after more than 6 years it is still holding up pretty well.

For the record, I wasn't suggesting doing an entire trike with Dura Coat. That would be insanely expensive. But if one wanted to put some effort in and make it look awesome they can use the stencils and get the proper color combos. I will most likely end up doing some of the smaller parts with some Dura Coat. Like I said before, the stuff is indestructable.
