Let's see pics of Camouflage paint jobs!!!
 
I'm building a '72 LWB 4x4 and it's got some rust on it. Rather than fix the rust I'm going to look for a solid bed, and possibly a new cab. In the mean time, I'm going to do a camo job on the truck for fun. I want to see some camo paint jobs that others have done for some ideas!!

:lol:

I have a bunch of pictures at the following link :

Camo Blazer Pictures

All done by hand with spray cans. It has 2 summers and touch ups are easy with a can of flat black when needed.

I thought about doing the snow camo like that or even a desert camo scheme, but I have a bunch of olive drab spraypaint already so I'm probably going to stick with that. I am trying to decide whether to do a pattern similar to yours, or to do something more like a tigerstripe pattern.

Sweet! Olive drab rocks!!! lol I had a 71 lwb 4x that I painted olive drab, and I though it looked sweet! I sold it a couple of years ago. I sure did get some "looks' driving it around, but that was the whole point! LOL

I'm picking up some wheels tomorrow, the Black Steel Rockcrawlers. I figure that should go well with the "military" look.
I still haven't decided whether to paint the bumpers and mirrors! lol

My current project is the restoration of a 72 swb stepside 4x4. The truck was originally purchased army surplus. When I first got it it was gloss olive drab. The first time I painted I did it in forest green with sand highlites and flat black abstract bird figures on it.
I used the U.S. Army field guide to paint the patterns. It looked real good and got many compliment on the paint job. I don't know if I have any picture of my truck when it was all together, but I can probably take some pictures of the parts in the back yard. Gendres doors, and hood.

That sounds really cool. I think I'm going to paint mine with a flat olive drab base coat, and then decide what do do from there. I just picked up a set of black powdercoat 16x8 rockcrawlers today that should look really good with the camo paint job.
