Default Camouflage?

I was wondering if anyone here has camo'd their truck before and have any tips, suggestions, or advice. I'm gonna be doing this for the first time and didn't want to make it look like ass Also, does anyone know where to find good stencils, I heard they help but couldn't find any patterns online. Thanks in advance.

Use green as your base coat. Ive done a few Nick but just on busted ass old hunting trucks. The guys didnt care how the paint was so we just did it in my backyard. But yea use chaulk to free have a design on the green then just fill in with the other colors.

Yeah, I wanna make it like a white, light gray, dark gray, and black camo. I figured since my truck is white than I can use that as my base, dunno if it will look right though.

Nah, just wanted a good sceme and I like that the best. It won't really serve a purpose but as a replacement paint job, I intend on clearing it afterwards.

Yea be sure to do that unless you just dont care about it lasting all that long.
Atleast wipe it down with mineral spirits to get all the dirt and shit off the surface.
