    CUCV Camo Paint Pattern

    I could not even think of putting chalk on wet paint. But I am not that good at painting, so I guess if you painted a battalion of vehicles with chalk like I said I did it once with less than favorable results. I like the freestyle look. How could it be wrong? It's camouflage. Good Luck.

    CUCV Camo Paint Pattern

    Pictures are available everywhere of CUCV's and the pattern is no pattern. It is sprayed in the same areas freehand. A proto type model/example just helped to keep the paint somewhat uniform on each CUCV so they were all the same. Originally they were robotically painted. This help keep the...
