He is only camoed on NOTHING, that is very :stopit:

It is supposed to look like a green spotted frog, the entire under belly is red and so is the truck.

back on subject, look at My 91 thread in the rig gallery.  Its a little different, but it was real easy to do.  I didn't mark anything off, did a base coat of green, then went at it with tan and black.  I tried to do the splotches, but they looked like :pokinit: so I went with slashes instead.  you want some overspray, but to control it, just spray closer.  I got one of those little $2 guns that mount on the top of the can, gives some good control, and is easier on the forefinger :yupyup:  Don't overthink it, its camo, its not supposed to be perfect.  If you don't like it, change the shape of the splotches.

doubt it'll be a problem.  I've never used itexcept for high heat instances, so :dunno:  but I don't see why it wouldn't work

There's no reason you would have a problem using the engine paint, just like you said it's gonna be more expensive.  If it were me I'd lay down the base coat and pick up a harbor freight cheapie touch up gun to do the other colors.  It'll have less overspray than rattle cans but won't be so precise that it looks stenciled.

I would Pracitce on something first if you want to get it right. Find some Ply wood Or A old hood/ fender or something  If you practice on wood use a cheap primer firs so the wood soaks up the paint , or on a thick mill garbage bag.  just be careful iof applying to thick so it dosent run.   Do longmultiple stokes to get an even coat.

Let me get this straight.  You want to "hide" it in Camo, but you're gonna aim at having "pink camo".... :screwy: How are you gonna plan to hide with PINK? Yer talkin in circles here :headscratch:

I just had a thought if you have an Army surplus store near you they sometimes have military manuals or can get them see if they have a camouflage manuals. If you really want to get Ideas and patterns

the military has manuals for everything
