Opinions please

I found a gallon of acrylic greenish metallic paint at home the other day. I want some opinions. Look at the pic of my supercab in my signature. Should i leave it camo or go ahead with the paint? I like it both ways so im in need of opinions here. Thanks

Are the necessary thinners, reducers, and hardeners available for it? If the product has been off of the market for more than a couple of years, good luck finding the supplies you need. You need to open the can and make sure it hasn't turned into permanent jello as well. Paint does not have an indefinite shelf life, you need to shake it once in a blue moon, and turn the can upside down to keep the settlement from compacting.
