There is no point in doing that.

Since it is an AIRship it could be sent over to any area on earth to deal with some martians. A camo suitable to hide it while it flies over an icy landscape would be useless if it had to go to some tropic area and vice versa.

Additionally, a simple satellite scan of the combat area would provide the martian troops its position and course with pinpoint accuracy. And martian sensors are more advanced than terran ones so they would see it coming on their sensors long before they actually visually spot it.

Remember that in episode 8 (then and now), when Saazbaum rushed to castle Cruhteo they spotted him on their sensors from several kilometers despite the Dioscouria's later revealed stealth capabilities. The Deucalion's sensors couldn't pick it up even when it was right in front of them.
