Like title says, i was involved in a fender bender a while ago (not my fault)with a drunk <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />. So i visited the yard and didnt find a red fender. id rather wait for a red one and not go through the hassle of matching the paint. so anyways. had some free time today so i figured i might as well have a little fun experimenting with rattle can camo paint jobs for the first time. I took the fender off and banged it as straight as i could. cleaned it and painted with colors already i my tool shed. and i also found a place for my BIG mitsu letters. i thought id have this on while i wait for the red fender but i kinda like it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />. should i do the whole truck? my wife thinks just the fender in camo looks cool. i love my never ending project. i still have so many parts in my shed that are waiting to be fused onto the toy.

Living in the desert, I thought about painting my Raider in a Desert Camo scheme, and I'm sure glad I didn't. A friend of mine said "Why would you not want to be able to see your truck when you're out in the desert?" Plus, it was easier to leave it red lol.

But really, that red color paid off a couple of months ago when out geocaching and we lost sight of the truck and got kind of turned around (Forgot to set the truck as a waypoint before we embarked on a small hike) and I could just *barely* see the red roof at one point, and then we made our way to it.

So, there's merit for keeping it the way it is. That being said though, the fender looks cool, if not a little out of place ;-)

im 100% sure i dont want to ddo the whole truck. i'll just leave the fender like this until a red one shows up at the yard. im in no hurry though. i like how the camo contrasts with the red and i think the mitsu logo looks awesome! who knows i might just leave it as it is. i'll invest my little free time in making a roofrack and an OBA system.
