Default Camo jeep

Anyone do a camo paint job on their jeep with spray paint? I want to do this with my 96 4 door and would love advice as well as pics of your rigs. I know this has been done but my iPhone app won't let me find the thread. Thanks in advance

should've watched Xtreme 4x4 this morning, Ian did a white XJ. Taped everything off, got some flat Krylon, started with black, then brown and green, finsihed with the lightest color. Total time was 90 minutes.

The Camo they did on xtreme 4x4 looked awful. Its as easy as tape, prep and paint to the style you like. If you wanna make it a bit uniform make a couple cardboard cut outs for two of the colors. And just paint the other area's in another.

also this isnt advanced tech just an FYI

Saw the 4x4 Paint job..... Kinda funny looking but proved the point. Just go for it.
Sutdy the pattern you want on google and you will be fine. When all else fails paint some more.
