Blend into your environment with camo paint.
Camo paint is created by layering three to four shades of paint onto a surface to help the object blend into a natural environment. This paint effect can be applied to vehicles, furniture or nearly any item you would like to camouflage. You may apply the paint with a paint roller, paintbrush or spray paints but read the label on the paint to ensure that it is formulated for the material being painted before you begin.
Instructions
1. Clean the surface thoroughly and let it dry completely before you begin painting.
2. Choose three or four colors for your camouflage pattern. One example would be forest green, light green, sand and black to create a camouflage pattern similar to those found on Army uniforms.
3. Apply the base color of your pattern to the entire surface and let it dry. The base color is the dominant color in your pattern.
4. Paint irregular shapes onto the dry base coat using one of your other colors. Try not to create a pattern or make perfect shapes with the paint.
5. Repeat Step 4 with the remaining colors of paint, allowing each color to dry completely before you begin painting the next.
