Alyssa, you didn't give me a chance to get in here!!

cam·ou·flage
n.
1. The method or result of concealing personnel or equipment from an enemy by making them appear to be part of the natural surroundings.

2. Concealment by disguise or protective coloring.

3. Fabric or a garment dyed in splotches of green, brown, tan, and black so as to make the wearer indistinguishable from the surrounding environment.

By definition, pink is not camouflage (unless, perhaps, you're driving through Miami)

and btw

I do love pink, but I'm not into it on vehicles, but that's just me. To each their own but I still say if you are going to put pink on your trucks they better perform or you've just got a wussie pink girly truck.

well let's see pink camouflage? now that's an oxymoron if ever I heard one . but if thats what you want

you go girl/boy and yes you start with your base In your case white and then whichever color you want to be the next largest area and then free hand spots so on and on

What, you guys have never seen the Pink Hills Nat. Park?

Now this is camo'ed but only if he parks it on a golf course, people think it's a small hill with a bunch of divits that didn't get put back.

Not as much of an oxymoron than urban camo.

This would probably be the easiest type to do. You would have to do the entire truck in that pale powdery pink color, then you could mark off the squigly lines for the other colors. Use the spray can to make a wide band of tan along your drawn out pattern. Then go over the tan with a skinnier band of a medium grey paint.

What I just described don't seem too hard. You don't need patterns or anything...just use the example truck shown. It is freehand so you cant really mess up.

*FFC* · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 10, 2005, 11:42:07 PM »

It depends if you want clear lines or if you want it to look blended a little. I camo'd some stuff and just used long strokes with different colors till everything was covered. It looked pretty good.... more of a smaller print, and it wasn't perfect, but hey, who's wheeler is perfect anyway?

no thats the point true camo is one color blending into the next but if you want clean lines just free hand masking tape around too make whatever shape you want or happen to make then spray. you can go to any paint supply and some hardware stores and buy rolls of paper with the tape already attached or you can buy the tape and paper separate for half the cost. Ive done my research as I intend on doing a camo paint job on the scrambler when I get around to painting it . but I am free handing everything and if I can get my hands on some I will use military carc paint which is what we used to paint the vehicles while I was in the National Guard it is very durable and rust resistant . but sorry it does not come in pink

Just as much of an oxymoron. they are both oxymoron's. Who said urban camo? I suggested jungle warfare in Miami.

Personally, I see camo on beat up trucks around here. Unless it is done with clean lines and done well on that nice truck, especially in the colors you are suggestomg, it's going to look like
