the camo seems too blocked. by blocked i mean the pattern that catches your eye seems to be repetitive square(ish) type shapes

imho camo is supposed to me random(er) and more swooping.


camo is designed to break up the lines of your truck. camo'd squares seems like 1 step forward, two steps back.

its not all hate.

the quality of the paint is nice, and thats a fine lookin t4r

well it has a webber carb on it at the moment and its to much for the engine it makes it run to rich and if you adjust it to put less fule in than it wont idol but if you hold the flaps down to about 1/6th of an inch it will idol and run fine but you cant adjust the flaps on the webber i have so i got a carb off an 86 pickup (had to order form Oregon hard to find) and im in the process of switching that out. if it dosent run after that than i have no idea what is wrong because it only has 130,000 miles on its stock engine.

but on the note about the paint job its 3 coats of rustoleum and if it is parked by trees at dusk its hard to find ha ha

Wooop. Look out for the camo police! How do you explain the newest Army uniforms with the computer pixeled digital camo? How is that supposed to blend or not catch your eye.

I'm digging Battista's camo. original. custom.

Camo is supposed to break up the shape of you/your weapon/your vehicle. MARPAT works by not repeating itself or following any particular shape. What he's getting at is that the OP's paint job is repetitive, has some pretty hard lines between colors in spots and at least one place where I can see a break in color at the door. It looks cool, just not exactly battle ready. I can't seem to camo anything other than a rifle worth a damn or my truck would be done up in it.

anybody else notice something wrong with his interior???...look at his T-case shifter...there's something going on there......

and i too say the camo needs to be redone..even though he bought it like that..you should grab some of the krylon camo colors..then some random leaves and what not..and just go at..

*EDIT* CAMOCLAD FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
