Well yesterday I decided to finally start my camo paint job on the sami.   After much reasearch, I noticed less is more when you do one of these jobs.   Here are some pics of the job.   I should be done tonight.

nice one!

So you 'masked' the different colors?
-mine was freehand; only masked what was not to be painted at all; ie, under hood, tires, glass, etc...

Yes, I masked every different color, and pattern.   Including the black predator stripes.   I'm a painter by trade, so using a masking gun is very quick for me.   The entire project, including sanding and primer took about 7 hours.

Very tasteful, yes less is more. I'm a painter myself but I only paint F/A-18 Hornets in the navy now. We just started an 8 color show bird for my command.

Thanks for the kind words fellas.   I got this in feb. and last weekend my son and I took it camping for the first time in the mountains.   I absolutely fell in love with this machine.   We put 120 miles on it in 4 days, and couldn't believe the gas mileage.  22.5 m.p.g.  That's all dirt roads and trails.   While drinkingcocktails by the campfire I came up with this design, and couldn't wait to get back and fix her up.   I changed all the oils, fixed the high idle,  painted, and threw a stereo in her.   I really hated not having any music while cruising the dirt roads.

I now see why you guys all love these samurai's so much.

This has to be my favorite "camo" paint job.  Very nicely done.
