Man, you beat me to it. His car was sick. I think the camo is a great idea, but I also think it's more of a S13 thing.

Hell after I saw that the new thing after flat black 240's I was like **** thats what I am going to do but **** it! I don't care what people think of my car. "You can Accept it...Reject it...

+1 for the corolla being a sleeper. Austin, you repainted it? that camo paint job was sick on that car.

hope the pizza worked out for you last night.

I like the camo look on cars when its done right. That gray S14 looks sweet. But have you guys seen the new digi camo on a car yet. I just saw a pic tonite for the first time on a jeep. It looks dumb IMO I thought it was a video game thing till my bro told me it was the new digi camo

That's a crap version of digital camo, looks like the guy started to do it right, and then shat himself and had to run.

This is real digital camo

If a car was done up right in that, and it was in the right setting, satellite photos would miss it, due to the granulation or pixelation of the digital image, especially at zoomed levels. Now that Jeep on the other hand... They have to apply special filters on the satellites to keep that from interfering with the image haha.

join the army. they'll teach you how.

i just went for it. here are my suggestions.

start with a base color, the most common (my corolla above = white)next, take second most common, draw some smooth, eccentric shapes. be sure to cary them on to other panels and imagine them flowing from door to pilars and roof if possible. wraping around hood to fenders is also good. just make outlines, and modify them to your liking. they have to be of proper size and shape so take your time. to remember what area is what, i marked an X inside the outline with the appropriate paint.

fill in the outline.

third, highlight with a 3rd (or 4th) color that is least predominant in your scheme.

if you have an image in your head of what you want the outcome to be (most cammo jobs don't) then use these directions.

i will be changing my green to tan this summer as the green was really supposed to be a VERY light green. go krylon....

oh, don't clear it. and be ready for the attention.

If you like the Camo paint scheme on a 240sx, then you truly are an "Army of One!"

Who the hell voted and bumped this two year old thread? I just posted to an old a$$ thread! Tricky b1tch! ARRRGGG!!!
