Shell Options

The Skycamp 3.0 (Full-Size) was offered in 3 different shell options:

Gloss Black - A high-shine automotive finish that offers a sleek, premium look. Gloss surfaces can show micro-scratches and dust more easily, so regular washing and occasional waxing help maintain the shine. We recommend using our Glossy Shell Wax for best results.

Rocky Black - A rugged, textured coating designed for extra durability and scratch resistance. The matte surface hides wear well and only requires mild soap and water for cleaning. Avoid abrasive brushes or pressure washing, which can damage the textured finish.
