I have found a garage that is willing to coat and paint my jeep for $400 and I just need to buy the Paint Variations.

Thanks again.

i cannot post pics from work but look for mine. i did mine by myself in the yard and everyone loves it. i get asked about it at the gas station, wal-mart, in the parking lot at work, every where.

then, someone posted a link to the army tech manual for painting army vehicles and i found out mine wasn't done right so i am going to redo mine sometime.

Army Technical Bulletin 43-0209
tm 43-0139

those aren't the exact one i am looking for but they show the pattern so you can adapt it to your vehicle. keep googling and you'll find hte one with pictures of each vehicle and the outline with which color goes where.

If you can make the extra effort to do the digital camo, I think that would be awesome!
