"urban" camo on a jeep what say the forum

[krochus]

I have the below wrangler that I'm considering painting. It has its share of dents scrapes, and is in need of a windscreen frame. The current dark blue has gone completely flat. I'm anticipating doing a restoration in a couple years so this will be far from a perminate alteration.

 

Now I could base coat the entire jeep in OD green and start from there but the tub will still be blue on the inside YUK!

 

but what about using the existing flattened dark blue as a base for a "urban camo job" much like some of the aircraft in the USAF aggressor squadron.

 

 

 

possibly in a digital format

 

 

Any more pics of vehicles in such a color scheme would be very welcome, and of course any tips for getting the original paint to hold these other colors would be welcome as well.

What the aych ee double hockeysticks is 1952 Packard? :hmm: :waving:

 

 

And don't do digital cammo, just looks like a crappy custom paintjob, do it like traditional cammo.

thats not urban camo. "urban" is black, white, and grey...

Slightly off topic but, I always thought desert digital camo would look great on the MJ and wondered how much a wrap would cost; easy to remove when you're tired of it.

Wraps usually cost as much as a decent paint job... :ack:

I'm shooting for a pattern similar to the British Berlin Brigade's urban camo.http://www.emlra.org/articles/berlin_brigade.htm

 

And yes urban camo comes in much different patterns and colors than the crappy pants you see sold from the back of a horse trailer in front of the flea market

[the_wizard_of_fire]

not really, no. i concede that there are many different patterns. and the new digital camo does have its appeals, but the colors used determines the "style" or name. blues and greys are aqua, or sky shades. just like brown green and black is "woodland"

[the_wizard_of_fire]

but yours does look good, whatever we decide to call it.

[krochus]

slowly but surely

I saw that and quite frankly I'm staggered by the amount of time it must have taken. Hats off to whoever painted that one. I do however plan on blacking my grille in the same manner

 

On a side note I'm considering adding another color to the mix to bust up the p[pattern a bit more. Prolly something halfway between tan and off white.

not that much time. just lots of tape.... massive amounts of tape... probably a ball of tape the size of the jeep when finished...

[krochus]

Thank god we bumped into page 2 as if this thread wasn't 56k unfriendly enough[;)]

 

at this point it's done for a few days till some of the colors have a chance to cure, at which point I plan to add some small off white or tan blocks.

 

odiously this is one of those projects that morph into something completely different than the plan you had at outset
