Camo Paint?
I'm planning on painting my pop-up in a 3 or 4 color camo scheme. It's now a hideous wierd faded pink color now that I can only guess was popular in 1967 and that's got to go. The camper itself is made of aluminum so no rust issues.
Anyone have any tips or tricks in regards to doing camo paint? This is pretty much the pattern I'd like to end up with:
Army surplus store;
They have some olive drab (oil based) in gallons, cheap, that puts on a coating that a stone can't chip, LOL!
Applies with regular house paint roller and brush, or thin WAY DOWN to spray, use a primer gun.
Then, hit up walley world for spray bombs in flat color primers or others you like and go crazy with the light tan 1st on top of the olive drab, then go to the black last as "drop shadow effects of the tan with additional portions overlapping.
Yes, I have done it before to seal up bodywork for a winter driver untill I could start again on body work in the spring!!
LOL!:thumblef:
You can also use weird shades of bright and darker greens only on top of olive drab too for different effects.
Also can use "stencils" of palm tree leaves, regular leaves, small bamboo limbs, etc to use as stencils to overspray the black on top of the olive drab and tan for a really cool jungle effect.
Use solid brown, then streak the black paint with sponge or rag or 3m pad in a direction of choosing adding some knots here and there and it will look like a big piece of wood!
Don't hold back, just go medievel on it's ***, LMAO!!!:happy6:
