Since we're talking about Tyvek, here, ounces may not be important, but paint will add weight.

Looks like that paint holds pretty well.. I wonder how long he let it cure/If he washed the tyvek before he painted. Overall looks like a great setup.
Well.... Here ya go.
The paint did hold up well under the hose test.
The fumes finally dissipated after hanging out under my deck for a week or so.
I have notices that after setup and tear down a few times, the paint seems to chip off where the tyvek is creased.
I have a car-camping trip planned soon and will post that in the trip planing area for anyone in driving distance to Springer Mountain....
I will show more video of the tarp actually in the field.
In retrospec, i may not go with the paint... put I am still on the fence. I have about 50 75 feet left on a 9' roll of tyvek so I can make another tarp...
Working on a design now using ten feet of the foll thatI can also make a "Grizz Beak" for the tarp in really windy conditions.

Thanks for the shoutout photohiker.
Sorry im late to the party here.
I have been using 1443r for a long while now and if used correctly is totaly functional water proof for tarps.
I prefer the weight aspects of the 1443r as opposed to the regular house wrap.
For the Desert it would be very good as well as its has a pretty good UV resistance. Mind you everything melts here in Australia
Aardvark- Mate thats a nice looking tarp you came up with there!
Just received a roll of approx. 50 feet of the house wrap Tyvek for free!
Let's see what I can make. Gonna mainly use it as a mockup for other projects but a tarp may see some limited use.
Can someone briefly explain the different types/models of tyvek being used by hangers?
