Camouflage paint on a Dual Cab

I have a mate that is going to take on a resto of a 74 Dual Cab..
He has an idea to finish in camouflage colours with a khaki canopy..
I'm sure I've seen one on the net somewhere but can't find it now.. Also tried doing a busselecta photoshop but not skilled enough..

Has anyone seen any pictures of this effect?

PS: The stance will be Baja.. Big lift kit with spoked white wheels and duellers etc,
Probably with the 1uz lexus conversion I've always wanted to do..

Look under stolen VWs on thesamba as there was a duel cab split stolen. Is in camo!
Hope it helps

Hi Stenguns,

I painted Simons Bay a few years ago in camo. He did alot of research and not a random pattern as it might appear. We sourced the company that supplies the army and so the paint was exact, and 'anti radar' too!hehe

Thats the beast I remember.. TOP JOB!!
Whats the chance of getting the paint codes?

5PL1TDCS10N ·

I haven't got the paint codes sorry but the paint is from Protec. Give them a call and they will no doubt be able to help.

Something like this then.......

That is it!!!

Thats going to be alot of work! Its either alot of masking or some fine air-brush. Looks awesome though!

One thing to bear in mind is registration. If you get a defect notice it wont pass(in WA anyway)**camo is not a color!hehe
