Camo wrapping,,im doing it. like it or not

[blue bronco66]

Heres the deal. i used to have nice paint. then i put boggers on and from throwing rocks up, my clearcoat began to flake off. So then i went down some scrub oak quad trails and my paint is really trashed now. ive always wanted to wrap my truck in camo.i did some research and found out it holds up well to scratches. or at least hides them better lol. well i ordered max4 camo and so begins the prepping. i removed the mirrors then the side lights. the buckets for the side lights were glued in by previous owner who put fg body on.i tried to remove them but they just broke into little tiny pieces. so i priced new ones and decided im going to do away with the side lights as my bronco is a 66 anyway. im bondoing and fiberglassing the holes. im painting the grill flat black. the rest will be camo. i removed the blinker lights,and for giggles i put in a pair of 66 lenses i had laying around.after seeing them in i really like them.but modifying how they will mount is gonna be tricky as my grill is fiberglass.(no little tabs to bend in). ill try to update as i go.

There is a older guy who has been to the BYOB that has his bronco in camo wrap, he did a good job.

Keep us posted, would like to see progress pics, not just done. Can't wait to see it.

nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! not my cup of tea but it'll probably look tough with those boggers on it!

You know your a redneck when you wrap your EB in camo...
Why not just rattle can it? For the money you spend on the wrap just have a new clear sprayed. This stuff looks good on boat, but kinda strange on vehicles. Plus when you go to sell it it will probably negative feature.

Do not know who this belongs to but I like it.

I can't wait to see it too. I would camo a hunting truck if I had one. Should look cool and be durable.

I'm going to follow this thread. IMO, camo can be very redneck or just kindof redneck --- What will it be? I hope you take your time and get it to lay down nicely.

Jim Creel at WH has some pics of this posted on their scrap book under 2008 LEBC

I did my winter beater this time last year in reel foot camo, it turned out great. The only problem I got was 5 people in my area that started doing camo jobs to copy me

The camo has style points. I like it.

as for redneck, well im as redneck as a jersey boy could be i guess. not really tho, there are plenty of crapy homedone camos up here runnin round.
this truck does take me hunting/shooting.
papitts the one who told me how durable the wrap is.
just so happens my buddy does this for a living and is anxious to help me with the install. he did the giants superbowl toyotas a few years back.

says he does it with a plumbing torch.lol ill take lots of pics so we can all rip the tricks

anyhow, i got the marker lights filled tonight.




and i painted some blue stuff black (lp bracket,tailgate handle,headlight rings)

Lol!... I also think that's PaPitt's. Search for 4bt swap build threads and you'll find it.

 

[grimlock97]

Here's Mine!!! It's Not Wrap, it's stenciled, 5 layers and clear coated!!! you can't see scratches too good b/c their camoflauged!!

 

[stupidboy]

Those look pretty good done up like that. I think if I ever build a trail rig I'll do that rather than paint. Look great.

There was a guy in SC that had one listed on ebay not long ago. that had a flat olive green base with camo stencil on the lower 1/3 that I thought looked pretty nice. easy touchup as well, I think he rattle canned it with the Krylon green camo color.

I am on the fence about the wraps. I see alot of guys around my area that have done the bottom half of there trucks with it and it looks really red neck! But most of the guys are red necks.;D I could see a full camo wrap if the bronco or truck is your hunting truck. But for a daily driver or wheeler I am not sold. Also they are not cheap I think you could repaint your bronco for the cost of a wrap! If your bronco is truly just a wheeler and you bash it all the time I still think the best thing is cheap spray paint and if you want the camo look use the dull dead grass color or drab olive green.
