Hey, a decent canvas tent will keep you dry, even in significant rain. Sunforger gets my vote every time. That's pretty important to keep in mind when the clouds are rolling up on the horizon.
Painted or not, they still serve that purpose. They need to be good for what they're made for first, and camp decoration second. We have a wall tent and a papilio or two down here, and we're talking about painting them. Good winter project. If we do, we'll paint them all on the same day. A cheap waterpaint sprayer ought to do the job. I don't think we'll paint the entire insides, but might paint the inside of the door flaps, so if they're flopped open, they'll not spoil the effect.
