After I retire my Monty from daily duties, I'm going to "snow camo" it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" /> I think that would look bad ass. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" /> It already is, unless you have different color snow. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Oh Man!

Multicam would be insanely cool on a vehicle. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image]](http://www.henrikc.dk/camouflage/com_multicam_pattern.jpg) Would be ungodly expensive, I would imagine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

This is the quote I got from my friends shop here in Texas. Thanks, Mike <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" /> For one done at a shop, I'd call that realistic. I imagine a great deal of time for design, tape being used and of course the time to tape everything off. Not to mention I can see this type of paint job negatively impacting throughput (jobs in and out of the shop) and therefore would make the price seem reasonable. I've got a few friends who can spray a decent paint job, and they typically do it for a couple hundred bucks, plus meals, drinks, beer, and a can of cope or two. Then I have 1 freind who has had tons of his paintjobs featured in trick magazines, motorcycle magazines, etc, and he doesn't budge on price, even for family. What would it be if it WASN'T a friend?

If you want a camo paint job, do it like the Army does.... put axle grease on anything that shouldn't get paint, start spraying some satin olive, black, tan.. whatever... and when it's dry, wash off the grease..... camo job for about the cost of 6 cans of Rust-o-leum.
