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

) 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

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

Ended up going for NATO Green

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

Bob?

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

well she's all masked up ready for keying and degreasing tomorrow

in less than 24hrs she'll be NATO Green

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?

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

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

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?
