that would depens what u mean by army colours

but the trick is to make it look as respectable as possible, as when you get pulled over by transport then we have to swap shells again = not much fun

but i will admit that a camo pain job would be cool

yeah it would look pretty cool. would be a bit easier to keep clean aswell.

DO IT!!! - That would be great. I rekon you'd need to put some thick black flares over the wheel arches just to break it up.

Here's an example of what a cam-painted vehicle can do

Then there's always the option of having a cam-paint job which has it's own message

gotta love that!

anyways ben... you had the perfect base for a camo job on the beige hornet!

could always go urban camo on the white one

Do it... just to be different.

'Who wants to paint my car all retarded?' < the title of a thread at
http://pithrecords.com/forum/ where they fella painted his late 80's suby wagon cow skin (white with black spots) look pretty funny... How ever the link to the thread doesn't work

but yea, paint it camo, then when ya play hide and seek in the bush who do ya reckon will always win

Jack, I like your thinking mate, bloody good!

And alex, we all know you wouldn't like a camo car... not enough shiny things on there for you...

I reckon go the camo, we've got an MY wagon up here in benders i see every now and then that's done up in camo. It really looks the part, i think it's mainly been done for advertising for a boot camp or the local disposals joint...

I like the idea of the urban camo, i'd love to see that!

Cheers

I had an LJ80 years ago that we pianted in camo colours...took about 2 days and too many beers to paint.

First trip out bush in coffin bay we blew the clutch during a recovery. being outdoorsmen, we packed up supplies (a loaf of bread, some water, and the remaining cold beers) and hiked out of the park, leaving the car at 4am to avoid the heat - took the best part of a day

Trouble was returning the next day with a local to find the car. The local said something like "geez fellas, as if it your truck is camoflauged", we drove past it a number of times!

Still laugh thinking about it.

But...maybe a consideration if truly in the boon docks - spotting a solid colour in the bush is hard enough from a rescue craft...
