I didn't mention anyting about your truck being painted to match your RV. I mentioned it being painted at all. Seems silly with your logic. You won't go outside and look at it right? It's not art right? Keep it simple and just clear it. Why bother to have a color at all?
As to my painted RV, you clearly haven't looked at my pics. It is no different than a fiberglass RV. No more or less showy. Same swirl and swoosh pattern that I would skip if I could. Hell, I asked if they'd just paint it like a two tone truck. Silver on the top and grey on the bottom. No go. But nevertheless, paint is a nicer finish that plain grey fiberglass with cheap stickers stuck all over it. It's not about being showy. It's about having a nicer finish.
Don't get me wrong. I understand what FBP is. Open Range offered it at one time as a $6K option. I have a friend that has a FBP Open Range model very similar to mine.
I factory ordered my units optioned exactly the way I wanted it. I did not order FBP because I simply did not think it made the unit look $6k better vs. the standard paint job.
The comparison is FBP for $6K or standard clearcoat paint job. It is not FBP vs. no paint at all.
Yes I have decals,lots of them. But I also have $6k in my pocket.
Maybe I'm too thrifty or my pockets just are not deep enough. Or maybe I just don't think the $6k paint job is money well spent?
In the end I don't have FBP and I have no regrets. I don't wish I had it. I don't think my rig looks bad without it.
Keep in mind I don't have a toy hauler. Most/many TH's seem to have FBP. Maybe FBP is another reason I don't own a TH.
