Compact Jr Paint Ideas (picture heavy)
This spring I am planning on painting my Compact Jr. I am having a hard time deciding on a new paint scheme.
Here is what it currently looks like.
My tow rigs are a 2015 Toyota Tacoma Magnetic Grey Metallic (charcoal grey)(primary tow rig), 2014 Subaru Outback Carbide Grey Metallic (grey with a blue tint) and a 2003 Ford Ranger Arizona Beige Metallic.
I am afraid if I go grey and it does not match it may clash. I am now thinking I should go to the neutral colors. I do not want white or black. The decal will be red. I like the red canvas also.
Any thoughts?
Jeremy

Me, too. The dual grey looks very sharp with the red.

I'm another David B. - and I'd second his vote for the second composition. And, why shouldn't the TT 'stand out' from the TV colours ? Especially, since it will obviously outlast your next few TVs !

I vote for either of the ones with 2 tones - darker bottom, then the red stripes which really pop. Looking forward to seeing your final results.

Super images! I vote for the top one or the one with the darker gray bottom. I've never liked red and yellow together (think those common tulip combos, red and yellow). I like the light gray with the red, which really pops.
Cute trailer, too! Again, VERY nice graphics!

I would expect even slightly darker colors will cause increased solar gain - heating of the interior. This is a big reason why even though many colors are available, over 90% of vans are white. Same is true of egg trailers. Enjoy.

Painting.
I vote for number 2 down, I'am going to paint my Ventura this summer and will go with a cream colour all over first, then decide later what colour around the middle and bottom Half. I just want to clean it up a little befor using this year ,maybe finish it in the fall.

If the interior fiberglass furniture is a light green also, then I would recommend that you leave the top half of the exterior as is and paint the bottom half as well as the canopy top a darker green in the same value range for contrast. Refer to the FGRV logo at the top of the page and see how the bush starts with a real light green and then progresses to stronger greens. Do not jump to a real dark green, one just a few shades darker than the lime green.
Leave the canvas as is, and do not paint over the vents, screens, outlets, etc, rather highlight them in white. Then do the same with the interior. Leave the furniture light green and accent the doors with a darker green, with a white around the edges.
Painting the outside with a paint scheme that is radically different from the interior will cause a visual shock to your eyeballs when you enter. The exterior and interior colors should coordinate with and compliment each other, not fight each other visually.

Scamper Jim - The interior is light yellow and brown but it will be gutted and redone this fall/winter. I will be replacing the canvas when I paint. What is there how was home made and does not fit. The new canvas and exterior paint will dictate the interior colors.

The program I use to create the paint scheme is a free program called paint.net.
