I happened across a deal on a case of Rust-Oleum Specialty Paint, Camaouflage flat colors, got like 3 different colors in the case, they where about the same price, around 5 bucks a can usually but they where on sale at a local hardware store, that I just so happen to know the manager and he sold them to me for $1.00 a can! what luck. I am going to put this on my rig when I get it a little closer to finished.
