Okay, after seeing some of the impressive results that other members are getting, I have bought 15 cans of Rustoleum Forest Green flat camo paint and test-painted my tailgate. After some wet sanding on the existing gray primer, it looks pretty good.
My only question: while it's still 'new' it seems to show dusty fingerprints a lot. Should I have some kind of sealant coat on it, or will it just dull out a bit with dust over time and wash off? I'm not crazy about a clear coat approach as cars tend to blister and peel here in our pleasant desert climate... and I like the idea of keeping the option of the rattle-can touch-up I've enjoyed for so many years with gray primer!
