    Has anyone worked with camo vinyl wraps like this - http://www.camo4u.com

    I am looking at doing up our racecar in realtree camo with orange numbers...

    To be true race track camo you should paint your car like a tire wall. As a bonus, all the other cars will avoid you thinking they're about to hit the tire wall!

    To quote those Guinness Ads, brilliant.

    Not in camo, but in OD green...

    Using a camo wrap should be completely do-able. Check page 120 of the November 2010 issue for some quick tips on applying a vinyl wrap.

    Did you ever show a cost for the miata wrap? That's such a cool scheme.

    I just skipped the whole wrap thing and painted the car OD green which will shortly be full on Woodland camo as time permits.

    Somehow I don't think sponsors like cars that blend in...

    The local National Guard trucks are digital camo.

    I want to do something like this to the MPV.

    After getting a 2 tone dark blue and gray, it seems like its all I see now on the road. I think every manufacturer did an SUV/crossover/wagon in nearly the exact same color scheme. Drab green is more apropriate for a ZAV anyways.

    All in, figure about $2k. It was a buddy deal, so there wasn't an invoice to list or anything. The cost is similar to a paintjob, but with much more detail. It also gets bonus points for protecting the factory paint while the car is playing dress-up.

    Oooo I like the camo on the Ferrari! Full vinyl wrap is tempting with the range of weather here in Chicago. And I don't have to feel bad about not washing the car.
