Some items like guns are dipped, but not vehicles. Military vehicles are painted and there are vehicle specific paint schemes for each. I know some guys who painted a pick-up in woodland camo years ago and they just took a picture of a military pick-up and duplicated it freehand. They used a OD base and applied the brown and black with a brush.

im planning on camo...a military design is easier but the hunting camo imo looks cooler but looks like it is harder and will take more time...

Search Car or truck wraps on google.. shuld find what you need.. I beleive they have different peices for each body panel.. I was looking to do my 79 ford in a realtree pattern and found they have wraps like what your looking for..
Here is just one site I found in 5 seconds...http://www.camotruckwraps.com/produc...&sub=&type=725

Here is one with a Grand Cherokee done up.. and that would probly be the right amount you need and cheaper http://www.camo4u.com/cgi-bin/edit/c...ruck+kit+&M=10

either rattle can it or get it wrapped.

of course wrapping will look alot nicer, but its gonna cost a whole lot and its a jeep.... so its gonna get scratched up and idk how that stuff holds up ofroad. but a few trucks around my area have it done and they look great.

HUdfabxj, that's a nice camo job.

If you get a chance, google some images of camo fighter jets to see some simple yet awesome camo schemes that you can paint by hand easily.

I have my mind set to do this to mine as soon as I get the time.
