camo paint scheme comments

Started thinking of painting my truck from the blue paint to either digital camo pattern or to randum camo pattern but not sure. Please tell me what you think. ( i know it kinda looks like a 5yr old did so please keep that comment for another time)

If you plan on never selling the truck, go for it. Either way you are going to look like a giant goon....como was cool from 1995-1995.5.

Camo trucks only belong in the military and at the hunting cabin. Only way I'd ever buy one would be if it was a HMMWV or a CUCV.

I personally think that it worked out well. Maybe with a lift and some really aggressive looking tires it would really stand out. I would also make sure that there was no chrome showing on the vehicle, probably going with either flat black if you want to have some contrast or the base grey if you wanted it to keep it, well, camouflaged on the vehicle.

Think it looks ok, prefer the regular camo though. Definitely black out the Chrome.

I planned on dechroming the truck also bumpers as well, aside from you it's a tough croud here!

To all the comment thank you for the input, I DO plan on doing the entire truck including the chrome so as I do more section I'll post more pics. To all the negitive comment it wasn't for a thought of doing it BUT which pattern would be used. The overall plan for the truck is engine and trans rebuilt for power and reliability, front sas with shackle swap and small lift maybe 4" to 6"? Front bumper with winch and off road lights!

I think the camo idea is bad a$$!!! I just got a new hood for my truck and I painted it a blue, white, and black como. My dad and I just grabbed a bunch of fir, and cedar branches, ferns, maple leaves, and what not and layed them on the hood and shot them with some paint, the repeat with a different color, the best part is its impossible to mess up the paint job like this!!!
