Yeah I have had the same problem with posting pics and URL's myself. Oh well we well get there sooner or later.

Go to the "test" site and bump.

Yup, attached pix are only viewable by paid members.

Those linked from external sites are still visible.

But after 15 posts then we can post images linked from other websites, correct?

So if taping off areas doesn't look that good, how do you make it not too blurry? Like Cegusman's?

Correct.

Photobucket, CarDomain, other forums, etc.


www.SteelSoldiers.com has the NATO forest CUCV camo patterns in their files somewhere.

 

[cegusman]

I used the patterns found online of the cucv camo and copied it. Just grabbed some spray cans and started painting. No need to tape it off. Once you start laying the paint down you will figure it out.

FYI the flat black used in CARC can be easily duplicated by anybody's regular flat black. No need to pay what RAPCO wants for the flat black they sell. Their CARC green and CARC brown is pretty good though.

So what did you not like bout taping off areas. To clean or something else.

Well I'm not making to much progress this week. Been doing side jobs and getting ready to go fishing this weekend, however next week i'm going to get it street legal for the first time since early 06. Next weekend I have that hunters safety course to take, but after that its on. With it being legal I can drive it up to the shop and use my bosses da sander instead of my electic sander. I should be able to really get this paint job going.

 

[WAR WAGON]

As of right now I am going to leave it green and black. I used Krylon's Camo paint.

Looks good I wish I was that far along with mine I have my front clip just about done and one door? How did you prep your grill and bezels. Do you think its going to last? I thought about seein how much someone would charge to sand blast em for me. I have seen alot of trucks were the paint is just peeling off of the plastic.

Here is number 15

 

[WAR WAGON]

I'm not sure how it will hold up? I used a gray scotch brite pad and then primed them with plastic primer and then black. We'll see how it holds up after hunting season.

Yeah you will have to let me know. Heres what I started with. When it gets back from having the tranny installed I will put up some pics of my progress.

This is what it looked like before putting it back together. I was trying to change the oil, nah the front clip was shoot and it made the engine swap vary easy.

Looking better.

Here are some pics of my last truck. I used "Hunter Specialties" and Krylon paint. Straight out of the can, I might have wiped off some of the dirt.
I used the pattern posted above. There is a website where the patterns came from that also has colors listed for different terrains and explains that they were scientifically developed.
Right after it was painted.


At the end of the year.

I like the Veitnam-era tigerstripe camo.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Kinda like that.

Look up the old French Legionare camo pattern from the 60's-70's. Kinda tigerstripish.
