camoflauge ???'s
 

here's the deal .... i just bought a 16ft aluminum boat and i want to camo the thing..... any body have any suggestions or tips for doing this???
any help would be appreciated!:help:

camo wrap or spray paint. There are some how to spray paint camo videos on youtube

just gonna spray paint it...... that camo wrap is to pricey for this boat

Got to walmart and buy you sum poster board and draw what you want on it and cut it out with a razor blade and bam! U set

i'm no artist now T ---- what i'm gonna draw on there??? not anything that looks like grass!!!

Thought you wanted sum grass that's why I was suggesting that ...just spend the money then you ain't gonna get no mossy oak outta of a spray can lol

Check out these videos, little time consuming but will come out nicely when finished.

here is a couple of stencils you can download for free or you can buy more detailed ones just google marsh grass stencil

you can also use some large leaves off of plants or trees for stencils. Philodendron leaves make some nice big stencils

I've never camo'd something as large as a boat before, but for smaller things I've used a plan similar to the guy painting with the pvc pipe. Except for in place of the pvc pipe I'd use tree branches, leaves, sawgrass, etc...

Just put a random base coat of all the normal colors (olive green, teal, black, etc...). Collect various and sundry natural items (marsh grass, etc...). Then hold the natural items up to the base coat you sprayed on and hit it with varying colors. Sort of a reverse stencil.

Attached is one of the first ammo cans I did several years ago.

josh this how i did my lil one man boat it was to odd shaped for the stencils so i got mad at it and came up with this

Josh, Get Totsie to cut you some stencils. :rotfl::*****::rotfl::*****::rotfl::*****: I'm sure she has plenty of extra time. ;)

oh you know she does!!!

you could have put some leaves on that thing or something!!!:confused:

Where you been hunting? Up by the camp?

yea we tried to kill some woodies up there the other day ..... not much luck though

We used to have better luck on the other end by the old 171 boat launch. Hadn't been in some time though.

I did mine this summer. I would try and get a sheet of mylar to use as your stencil instead of poster board. I say this because I used poster and had to redraw my stencil twice. (I was informed after I finished that I seems to work way better.) It wasn't hard just time consuming. Overall I like how mine turned out, however I would change a few little things. It was the first one I did so it was a learning experience. If you need help or have questions let me know.
