krochus Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 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.

dasbulliwagen Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_wizard_of_fire Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 thats not urban camo. "urban" is black, white, and grey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraps usually cost as much as a decent paint job... :ack: Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krochus Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 it has begun Image Not Found 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wizard_of_fire Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krochus Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 "Digital Camo" on a TJ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krochus Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
