Camo paint job

[Jefro83]

I'm fixing to pick up a '98 Tacoma and am looking to get a camo paint job. Can probably do it myself but would rather let the professionals do it. Anybody know a decent priced place to get this done? So far this is my favorite.

Painting your vehicle like that won't hide it very well.

Just sayin'

You should get one of these instead:

Not trying to hide it and if we lived in the snow I might go for the white camo. It'll help hide the dents and scratches from riding through the woods.

Every time I look at that poor Ferrari, all I can think is

And that is why it would be so easy to do. All the flaws that are so visible with glossy paint don't show up in a flat paint so you don't need some expensive specialty paint designed to retain a high gloss or extensive surface prep to remove each little dent and ding with filler and primer. Just use cheap Rust-Oleum camo paint. Sand it down, draw the pattern you want with a marksalot pen and spray each color, don't mask between colors, let then blend.

Doing a basic old school camo paint job is pretty hard to screw up. Go buy the rustoleum camo paints and start laying it down. Scuff the whole truck so it bonds, wipe it down with mineral spirits, and get to paintin. Best part about it, if you screw up, fix it, it's only paint

What's your favorite? Why did you post a picture of an empty driveway?

bed line the whole truck.

The pic of the landcruiser looks more like a wrap than a paint job.

I thought about a wrap but I'm sure the first tree I rub it's gonna tear. I'll probably end up doing it myself. I'll post progress pics when I get started.

That actually looks pretty cool.

I've seen some wraps take some harsh abuse. Just like anything else, if it's good quality and properly installed, you shouldn't have any issues. You rattle can painting it, how bad can it really make it look if you hit a tree, wether it's wrapped or sprayed????

I like the morning wood camo but my wife would sh#t a brick.

Why would you drive a Ferrari through the woods?

I figured out the solution...Buy some Flex Seal, spray the entire car, then stipple the entire thing:
