Au Contrare Rob... We had orders from on high to cam everything, and were given about a week to do it.

Here's a mimeographed drawing, a bit of chalk, brushes and paint..get at it.

We even had a rubbery white to cover the flat black in the winter. Blew off on the highway like a great big balloon. That wasn't done twice.
I remember that white stuff. You couldn't keep it on, then when you tried to remove the rest you couldn't get it off. So you painted over it again.

I agree that orders were given to cam the field vehicles, but when the brushes started going over the panel van or the white crew cab, they were going too far. s well, I am speaking of the late 70s/early to mid 80s when some of these transgressions occurred.
