How To Camouflage Your Car
« on: November 10, 2008, 03:56:06 PM »
So I've been pretty bored lately due to weather, things breaking, and lack of day light after work  >:(

I did some thread searching and i was surprised there wasn't a "How-To" for camouflaging a car.
I decided to start one  8) but i have no idea where to start, I've never done it.

I was thinking maybe with every ones input this could become a good thread for everyone


Happy Posting

Just a reminder, the part of the forum this thread was originally posted in "Build Diaries, How-To, DIY" is for people that have done a project and want to communicate specific details of that project to the rest of the group.

Are you trying to paint cammo on or do you want to just go vinyl?  These days you can buy a cammo wrap and just stick it on.

Painting gets a bit more interesting.  :D

it's all your design. i picked up an old bedframe from a customer for my son and asked him what color he wanted it, he said camo! so we bought some bright blue, light grey and dark grey spray paint and just went for it. it turned out sweet. look at it this way... if you dont like it, just go get some more paint!!

Just remember to start out by doing a basecoat of the lightest color you want to use (say Tan or OD green), then start designing different blotches with the darker colors (Browns and Black). I've done some pretty sweet looking camo designs (With weeds, leaves, and branches) to a couple of my buddies duck hunting boats. Turned out really good, and how I described for you to do it was how I started out.

Well, camouflage is all about the environnement.  If you are in snow, paint it white, in mud a good brown/green is fine...

But what if you are in the middle of a psychedelic LSD-induced dream?  ???
