Non standard camo

[skysix]

Have a M1031 with 1008 box (and eventually an Alaskan camper on the back) which I would like to paint in a scheme for winter use in northwestern Canada.

Trees mostly will have no leaves (mostly birch and poplar/pine with some jackpine). Driving will be outside treeline in foothills so also small brushes but basically open terrain.

Was thinking of Arctic CADPAT or CARC/NATO 3-color arctic but can't find patterns and color charts. All I have found is the older 4 color pattern - which could work as kind of a modified snow with trees (colors to be white, dark green, sand and field drab)

Any suggestions?

Here is the two scemes for CARC. 1 is black, 2 is green and 3 is brown. Color 2 is changed for area. IE sand for desert, white for arctic.

check out dura coat winter camos. they are pretty cool on guns so i can only imagine the result on a MV

Yea check out the price of Dura coat and then think how much it will take to do a truck! Cool yea! Practical probably not.

Spray bomb that Biiiatch! That way it will be easier for up keep and fix if you have to change body panels from field damage!

Check out a firm called "Tiger Strip Products" - Vinyl Wrap your vehicle in camo - just another idea.

Thanks for the diagrams - but isn't that much black a bit much for an arctic treeline cam? I have been looking (unsuccessfully) for a table like that in TB 43-0209/TB 43-0147/TC5-200 that lists percentages of the different colors and how they vary for different environments.

Wouldn't White (1), Forest Green (2) and Field Drab Brown (3) be better? (similar terrain to that found along the Alaska highway near the Canadian border ie scrawny firs and stunted poplar/birchwith lots of snow...

i was talking about the camo patterns. not the dura coat itself

Rich Johnson has it almost right. When the military used arctic camo they still used the same patterns, but 1 is white, 2 is green, and 3 is black. At least that holds true for several CUCVs and deuces I've seen up here in Alaska.
