Custom Exterior for your Airstreams???

Im thinking of doing a custom exterior for my Airstream. I love to hunt and fish and was thinking of an outdoor/camo theme for my rig.
I was wandering if anyone else had used stickers of any kind to dress up the exterior of their rig. I would love to see any pictures and advice that you would be willing to post.
Thanks
HeadnOut

Trout Unlimited has an Airstream Safari deckouted out in colorful graphics with their logo and it looks like a trout!

On The Rise | Trout Unlimited - Conserving coldwater fisheries

This link shows a bit of the trailer in action, but there is a great article in the fall 2009 issue of Airstream Life. It's not in the online version of the magazine, so you would need to order it online (www.airstreamlife.com) or find in your local Borders/Barnes & Noble to see it.

Just remember - less is always more.

good luck!

Hi, we want some graphics of some kind, but haven't seen anything that catches our eyes yet. If our clear coat fails we might just have it painted. But for now we added Blue Stripes and an American Flag.

I have a dent in the rear of my trailer that I've often thought of filling with bondo and having my friend who is in the business of wrapping vehicles placing a silver sticker over. I haven't had the guts to do it yet though.

Picking up our vinyl decal next week. We belong to a running club: Indiana Roadrunners. We'll be sporting our "roadrunner" on the side of our "78" Ambassador. Will post pictures when on the trailer.
