How many cans for standard camo?

[TheBeast_88K5]

You guys that have done STANDARD military camo.....

How many cans of each color did you use?
I need a can count for mine.

I think this looks awesome!!!

My rig was already white, when I did the Urban Camo.
My camo spots are also HUGE;
So, I think I used more paint than a normal human would have...

I have no gawdamn sense, sometimes...

Just wanted to point this out:

At this point, 18 people have veiwed this thread.
A thread with no replies, and no one had anything to say on the topic.....

Why did you even look?

Buy dollar cans and 18-20 wont be so bad I like the camo you got now by the way gave me a great idea for whatever wheeling project I finally decide to do,, some day

It takes roughly 10-12 cans to spray a Blazer flat black, But that will all depend on your rattle can skills as well.

I like it too... but, in a GTFO/SHTF scenario, it screams LOOK AT ME!!!


I'd rather be Standard issue camo.
That kinda says, 'if you try me, you might die....best to go find a weaker individual."



That, and when I flip on my 'show truck' Red/Blues....It might move some folks.

I'm a spray-can muralist from way back...
I get coverage like a BOSS.

That reminds me, my camo spots took around 16-18 cans, overall....
But, like I said earlier, I laid 'em on crazy thick.

well did you do any overlaying or did you put the camo colors side by side?
I know some guys that layer them so you will end up spending more paint.

Mine were layers, like a traditional paintjob.

This time, I'm doin side by side.
I'm following the actual Army 'paint-by-number'...

My truck seems like it was all green with spots added. The spots have faded in places and green shows through. Sherwin Williams makes the card paint and I think they have it in spray cans but I haven't used it myself. I want to do my tailgate and hood, because they have like random spray paint for some reason.

No other spray paint I have found looks right. I tried all of the Walmart camos and home depot camos and they do not come remotely close.

I did mine all green first and then added the spots and I didnt keep track of how much it took cause I only did one panel at a time. It took probably 2-3 cans off green per panel and not near that much for the black and a couple can s of brown.
