Lookn' for a good technique. Stencel so it ain't just a buncha' paint blobs. Not up for the stickers.

You wanna do it draw up a pattern or look it up. Before you rattle can it. Go over it with a scotch pad and remove all the shine or it will flake and peel.

Washing it with normal dish soap is a good idea also, will get rid of the wax that's on the paint... If you have any wax to begin with that is

Ive seen a guy take a branch off a tree and use it to paint on leafs and stuff. Looked alright if you ask me, personally would stencil them out but whatever floats your boat.

Wax? *snort!* Hahaha! I'm not sure I've ever used the stuff on it. But, I agree. Plan on a good wash down, Sanding then, another bath in mineral spirits.

Research material:















Here's a link to a folder of mine with camo HMMWV's:

http://s562.photobucket.com/albums/ss70/duafacia/CAMO/#!cpZZ1QQtppZZ24

I google searched for; HMMWV, HUMVEE, M998, M1098, Military Vehicles, etc etc etc.

Good luck, if you were closer I'd say come over and we could knock it out in a weekend
