so we have this junker car of ours, a 1994 ford taurus, and my friend and I as a joke thought it might be funny to paint it in a camo scheme, which one do you guys like the best :

I think the biggest difficulty is finding somewhere where we can use solvents to remove the paint that is on there now without creating a mess outdoors...

Why don´t you go for a little more "sharp" edges on your pattern. Such as this on the picture below.

If you guys are brave do it in a school parking lot, they'll clean it up after ;) . Some paint thinner and some sand paper and make sure to get a proper coat of primer gray. And remeber most of all when you do the painting you should do it at a rather warm temperature, around 21'c if you want your paint to stick and stay good for any length of time. Other wise it will bubble flake and peal off revealing your primer coat. I know its a beater (fawking fords), but make sure to sand out any rust spots before applying a coat of primer...otherwise it will look real ****ty. If you dont know how to do any of this body work reffer to a Haynes manual or just PM me and I'll be able to help you out. :hug:
P.s. the bottom color scheme would work good.

I think you should go with the sharp edged camo like "mustamato" said. That would look better i think.

I used to work in Hamburg in 2000; I saw a camouflage Ferrari 550 nearly everday. The owner (an architect) let it paint in the camo the Bundeswehr uses for its civilian-type cars. That Ferrari looked so ugly that somehow it was cool on the other side... Shame on me that I didn't take some pics of it...
