That German raindrop pattern would be a hassle to do as well!
My personal thoughts (for my own VX) are if I ever get a serious enough dent I will likely go with the "dazzle" kriegsmarine pattern (might as well go "all the way" if it isnt the stock silver I have. The only caveat is I would likely do it in a satin color versus a true flat and leave the skirts black-ie "Hollywood camo."
Obviously I have way too much free time sitting here in Baqubah Iraq!
