Camo - how is it done?

[87manche]

If you're worried about the sharp lines from using the stancils, you should be able blend the edges a very light spray of the tan from a good distance.

A good way to do camo with a stencil is to hold the stencil away from your work. 6-8 is a good starting point. Farther=softer edge

im thinkin about urban camo on my 91 white cherokee i was inspired by some extremely nice tacomas that were solid axled and had super clean camo paint jobs with a fine edge on each spot paint. it doesnt look anything close to horrible, i think it would look better fine edge than a soft crappy edge thats to thin and you can see the color underneath it. but yeah what kind of paint should i use and how should it be applied?

Don't come by my house, a guy down the road has a Camaro, of maybe a 'stang, but I'm almost sure it's a Camaro on something like 40's. He's had it for sale for years, I may ask him one day to test drive it, take it down somewhere nice. It would be awesome to roll up in a lifted Camaro on around 40 inch Boggers.

pop open the trunk lid and i bet you find a whole bunch of corn whiskey
regarding camo paint, check out marine finish manufactures. I know that Valspar makes some colors but I don't know how many. I used 2 quart of Dead Grass Green to coat my 88 and have contimplated doing the digitat pattern using the valspar DGG as the base
