Default experiences with camo?



As soon as it gets warm I'm going to follow my original plan and camo
my '82 F-100. The Krylon is cheap and good, and no disgust after a
Maaco job. Rough sanding, rust converter, primer, and then much use of
stencils...easy to do @ my work parking lot, and errors are just
repainted. Grille, wheels, will be flat or glossy black, bumpers flat
khaki... the inside door panels might be redone with sheets of Dupont
Tyvek (logo showing), and faded, cracked dash repainted hunter green. I
wonder if I'll get looks from people thinking "stupid redneck"?
I grew up in CT. so I'm not really country, and here in west Ge****a
there are a few of these vehicles...I don't have to worry about women
"cause I have a good one, but I wonder how/if the cops will react...
either this or a psychedelic paint job. My wife is an elementary art
teacher, and her classes could pitch in...I dunno about an "art car"
(truck) though - my co-workers might suspect that I used to be a freek
in Haight Ashbury, Colorado, etc. and the cops would take notice of a
hippie mobile...
I think @ age 52 I'm entitled to have fun with probably my final
vehicle...Paul

You'll have no issues. If anything you'll actually fit in better.
Add a gun rack and a dog box and they'll just think your a GOB!

Here's a picture of my husband's Jeep. He'd always wanted a vehicle with a
camo paint job, so when a huge tree limb fell on it, we decided it was time
to do it.

It's not a Ford, but it's definitely camo.

Geez, the truck is 23 yo and you are only 52, planning on driving a 50 yo
vehicle when you are 80? Ge****a does have doctors, no?

I'm retired Army and National Guard. The military vehicle camo patterns
aren't stenciled. They're sprayed by robots but you can achieve the same
look by freehand spraying a pattern. Not using stencils gives a softer blend
between colors. Use chalk and draw out a light pattern on the truck before
spraying. You can even paint by the numbers if you mark the colors
beforhand.
