Like this, took me a little while, but worth it. One thing you must not forget is that camo cannot be perfect. If its perfect with clean lines, its not camo, you want to basically free hand it, make the color transition smooth and gradual. Dont create a design, just do it.

I believe what you need is six pack of Budweiser, two cans of paint, and one of Copenhagen.

i'd use this:
https://styx-river.com/public/files/...tMultiCans.jpg

there's a special piece inside the can, which makes it randomly generate a camo pattern all by itself! a different random camo pattern every time!

no artistic skills necessary. you don't even have to have ever been in a forest!

takes about 4 cans to do a whole truck.

i recommend doing a test spray first in an inconspicuous place. if you don't get the desired results, just huff the rest!
