I like RCB's concept. It may be a little 90's-ish but I like it.

Here's what I have of the digital camo pattern. I'm starting to get lazy with it, but it's at least enough to get the gist of what I'm going for. The end result I was thinking of it being "shades" of black.


Scallops:


....and one more. For this one, I'm thinking probably coming down at a straight line (in line with the edge of the fender) until I come in line with the top of the paint on the back fender.


Just did this, tried blending with a similar fender design in front as in back, but still painting the back lower fender and kicker panel.




The only conclusion I can possibly draw from this "experiment" is that white/silver don't mix well. I'm thinking I should (*squirms*) just put some time into painting the whole thing matte silver...

Im a Solider Myself and i personally hate the ACU digital camo that we use now. Keep it up to date. We will be soon changing uniforms again to this.



Although the Name tapes and stuff wont look like that ^^^^

Nice work on the photoshopping! Now I know who to hit up when I need some ideas. Try black and grey camo, I bet that'd look sick.

you dont need talent to paint a jeep....just a case of beer, a few cans of paint, some tape and an imagination!!! it doesn't matter what any of us like..its only what you like. you could go flat black if you wanted to and it wouldnt matter...its your jeep, go crazy with it

Stromvader- haha thanks! I have a pretty boring job... So when I saw this post, I couldnt resist! I had nothing better to do! =) Thanks!...

I myself am planning on painting my Jeep either a flat black, drk grey or a forest green... not too sure which one. Of course this is after I ding up my nice pretty stock red paint job! =)

Its always nice to just be able to carry a spray can with you, you get a ding, you shoot a little primer and your good to go!
