Last week our usual Greenlane was a washout, but the massive pool of water that is usually there had sort of burst it's banks and drained lol :(

Ok, the time has come to give her a lick of paint, been wanting to do this since I bought it but never quite got round to it. Don't think I'm gonna bother with the matt black/Umbrella Corp thing (for now anyway :03: ) however I'm now torn between two colours.

So should I paint it NATO Green or NATO Light Stone (Desert Sand)??? I just cannot decide :88)

I would choose green. you never know when blending in might come in handy

I'd go for the desert sand...that way the tow truck will identify you more easily :)

very funny :O:

Ended up going for NATO Green :D just can't quite picture it in Sand, and I'm not sure it would look right.

I think you're right, although my masking for the desert one didn't go to plan, and I'm not sure of the shading! :/\\!!

Tried doing that yesterday but didn't turn out anywhere near as good as yours haha. I'm also gonna paint the trim around the bottom too :)

ajrimmer42 07-16-12 11:54 AM

Also, any ideas for a name for the truck? lol

Madox58 07-16-12 12:09 PM

Bob?

That way when someone says "Bob's your Uncle" you can say "No. Bob's my Truck"

:haha:

You're only a few steps away from owning a submarine!

I hope there's room on there for a SUBSIM sticker :)

Herr-Berbunch 07-16-12 04:43 PM

And a fridge magnet?

What colour trim? Still NATO Green? :hmmm:

Definately! I'm gonna get a few more stickers made up, a SUBSIM one will certainly be on the list :) Not sure whether to just have some die cut vinyl URLs or go all out and get some colour logos done :hmm2:

Yup, for now anyway, I may do it matt black at a later stage along with the alloys :D

If I remember I'll try and get a few pics as I go along with the painting process and stick em up if anyone's interested?
