Color change

Yeah, camo is another area I could have started collecting, but I resisted. I always thought a vehicle in East German Raindrop pattern camo would be sweet, but it would be challenging to paint.

If I was going to go all out I would get about 4 colors: Black, dark gray, light gray, and a bluish gray, and do a urban camo pattern using hard angles. Take a look at old battleship camo or Swedish M90 camo for ideas.

Its off the wall, and would require some sketching and masking but would be one of a kind.

When I deploy I am always on the lookout for interesting camo patterns.

Actually I had the interesting and expensive idea of going all chrome on a car. Everything body panels door handles bumpers even some window tint with reflective surface where legal. Never got too far as chroming costs an arm and a leg but I am betting one of a kind.

I have always wanted a CTS-V ALL CHROME like that.

Check these out just for S&Gs:

This is the Swedish M90 (I think it would look better in "grayscale:"

and this is the kriegsmarine "dazzle" pattern on old-style battleships:Colors commonly used in these multicolored "dazzle" patterns were: dark blue, medium blue, white, black, dark gray, light gray and olive green.

Then again there is the tumbler (prior to repainting) which also is worth a look:

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!

if you went go with some crazy camo, you should mount a dummy .50 cal machine gun or a fake turret of some kind up top. imagine driving that down main street! as if it doesnt get enough turned heads already.

I do like this one tho too. Cladding shiny and painted like the rest.

During a few moments of weakness (shame 'o' shame!) I've had some evil thoughts about change of color:

'member the ole mopars of the late 60's & early 70's...Lime Twist Green with dark cladding with the flat black hood insert...kind of barracudish. Maybe even a black strobe stripe swishing along the side below the side windows.

Then there is the negative, anti-matter opposite of the above....Black with Lime Twist Green cladding & hood insert either color. I got one of those VX Toys (Stomper) kind of painted like this with rally-inspired graphics.

I like desert camo too but specifically this (I have an RC buggy painted up like this!):

Toyota Tacoma's have a color called "Speedway Blue" that I like alot.

I keep thinking about that darn sick lowered VX that Wormgod created with Bimanti's Batman red pinstriping on the snout and.......make it stop...please!
