Default camo paint jobs

ok, last weekend i went wheeling and got a pretty good scratch from the front to the rear. now, before the scratch i was going to get my jeep repainted. but, now i'm not going to do it. i think it would not be worth the trouble. so i got to looking at camo paint jobs and came across Styx River stenical kits. i'm thinking of painting it the mossy oak break out pattern. has anybody done this to there jeep or boat and your thoughts.

thank you for any info.

here is the kit.

one of the reasons i thinking of camo is. we have a acouple of trails where we have to pop out on to private land to get back to the main trail. i would like to not be seen when crossing private property.

yes, i know! i really don't like getting on people porperty. it really make our sport look kind of bad. but we do not do any wheeling on there property. just cross it.

Because so many people have camo on their Jeeps. try some thing different in camo. Maybe using cattail stencils? Name:  imagesCACLRJ2J.jpg

i know!! thats one of the reason i don't want to do it. everybody in my area has some sort of camo. i like it. but, it's really not my taste. i would do cattails. but there really isn't that much cattails on the river.

I myself am getting tired of seeing camo jobs, on any vehicle. To the point If I where to paint mine a different color. It would be some bright color. Or maybe a camo done in bright metal flake (to the point of it looking like a glastron boat) Just to be different. I want to be able to find my car out in the woods.

Personally I never seen a digital camo vechile in my life! I know it would be a lot of work but I think a 2 tone with digital camo and of green would be bad and half the work, it might be a lot of work but I think everyone would notice and appreciate the time and design you have! Are do od green than do like the rockers and back behind the wheel up over the gas tank lid digital with the od green gas tank lid!
