welder man - I like that idea with using leaf cutouts. That must have looked cool.

Matt - I watched my neighbor do his with rattle cans. What he did was start with black and paint odd shaped and sized circles and half circles all over his truck. Then he took the var. colors of greens, browns and yellows and filled in the areas. It took him about a day but looked good when he was done.

Good luck on your project and post a picture when your done.

I almost forgot to welcome both of you to FTE.

Chech out these sites. They will have everything you need to go camo.
The first link is on geocities and has a bandwidth limit. So if you don't get in try again later. Hope this helps.

Stop by your local hobby shop - where they sell the little plastic trucks ;-) and look over the military model section. Often the model magazines will have cammo patterns for military vehicles.

Being a USAF pilot, I say paint it the two-tone "Air Superiority Grey"... same as the F-15s & F-16s.

Camoflauge Patterns

I was repainting one of my rentals the other day and a few leafs stuck to the house. I pulled them off and a perfect leaf pattern could be seen.

I bet you could spray a coat of one color , let dry the throw a few leaves on the truck . Then spray it it again and repeat with differnt shade and leafs and get a pretty good pattern.

Duck season started this morning and I have been seeing a lot of camo trucks out this year.

Maybe its time mine was camo ?

I have been wanting to paint my truck camo for a long time, but I want it the traditional woodland camo, like military BDUs. I have just been worried about, how to make the patterns look right.

I helped my dad paint a deer blind and we used real sticks and leaves and just painted over them to make it look like a tree with limbs on it. It turned out looking great, but I don't know about a truck.

on my truck and on my dads suburban we just took cat tails and leaves of different shapes and sizes and sprayed over them with od green and tan, of coarse both trucks were poop brown but when we were done it looked awesome. in my cabelas magazine they have vinyl vehicle stickers that you cut to cover the whole vehicle, that looks good but its a pain in the neck.
