That worked out well, any details or pictures on the masking, type of paint etc?

Paint was Krylon. Really good stuff. Sticks to most things and is quite hard wearing. Not cheap, but worth it.

Stencils I just made by hand using a DPM jacket I've got as a template. Trick is getting them in the right place to spray on, but still trying to be random!

When I ordered the paint I thought I'd ordered Olive green and dark brown, but actually got tan!! Having done it now I actually prefer it with tan!

I like that, might be worth a try here in shrub / desert or light woodland colours....

You could try using local plant material to give you the local effect. I was very tempted to do a 'tiger' effect or a 'long grass' effect.

Here's a link to the Krylon site, these are specific camo paints, but they do alot more. They do a couple of 'textured' paints which might work quite well....http://www.krylon.com/products/camoufla ... echnology/
