I always wanted to do something like this....but never had a good reason to sand all my paint off and do a ton of work. THEN I munched my truck...... passenger side.....damn it....

last year after seeing Yogi's truck at takeover I soooooo wanted to do a woodland camo version of his paintjob. 50 billion sanding hours....and 100 million cans of paint.... I am done.

I still have some work to do on the shell and that will be done in a week or so.

When you cant wheel you must find something to do with your truck

first sand and paint all the chrome to black

then mask and sand and mask and sand...black primer.....99% of the work is sanding and masking...spraying the paint was the easy part.
I almost stopped when the truck was primer black...but I wanted camo.

then goes the green.... someone said it looked minty fresh and it did LOL
bumper also got a good sanding and fresh coat of paint. its the least I could do for the poor thing getting bashed and painted and re-bashed again and again. looks good now. then I can bash and paint it more

now its time to mask off for the pattern. after many many pics http://www.norcalttora.com/~dean/truckstuff/camoideas/ of camo military trucks and tanks and helos and planes and stuff I decided on the pattern. this took the most time but was the most fun to do. I took pics of all sided of the truck and sketched out a pattern so I could get an idea of what I wanted it to look like when I finaly masked it out. this took two days to finish.

then paint the first set of pattern. I had to mask off the pattern in two stages when the colors were touching each other....does that make any sense? hell I dont know...you can figure it out

paint is done, let it dry for a night and install all the trim and stuff and things.
