I should note that for very Arid/ bright Desert climates, you'll probably want to go with a Khaki/ light Tan colored base clothing and add colors onto it from there, there is a lot more applicable Brown and Tan variation that is useful for those regions. The sprayed-on Khaki Dots do blur out more once dried, and will fade a little more over time. This is an experiment of sorts for budget DIY projects. Thanks for watching!!!
Good stuff. Looking forward to seeing it in the field. I've also rattle canned some gear in UCP that I dyed with walnut hulls. You may want to try the walnut hulls dye on some UCP stuff yourself. I find it's very effective in fall and early spring.
Thanks! Yeah it should be a cool test, hopefully going to get the testing filmed later this week as weather and time permits. Usually with UCP stuff I use the Rit Dye to make it brown and then add lighter colors/ tones over it with Rattle Can or whatever, don't do that often though (besides with the vids I did on the Pattern 83 style Battle Jacket/ LBE) since I have M81 and GEO7 Uniforms I use.
Generally yeah! I will say that Pencott, Phantomleaf, Ghosthood, and Veil are doing awesome things with their systems of Camo, but you're definitely not wrong there bro :) Thanks!
Thanks. Yeah Didn't want to get a bunch of rattle can residue on my camera in the ad hoc bathroom painting booth heheh, process steps are: - netting spray layer first - irregular solid shapes second - dots third
Back in the early days of competition paintball (when they still played in the woods) teams used to make their own distinctive camo patterns to set themselves apart from the other guys.
Good evening my friend! First, that does look badass! I would be curious to see how it looks after the clothes go through the washing machine (if you do that). Overall, really cool hack! Definitely a great way to make a custom camo for your AOR! Take care brother, keep the great stuff coming!
Some will come off and wear in the wash, but it'll stay-- cheap enough to touch up what needs to be though too ;) or just old school wash 'em in a tub or whatever lol. Cheers!
True, but that's not the point of this video-- this is a total DIY project/ experiment, in which case IF templates are used, they should also be DIY cutouts. That's part of the whole challenge and fun of it.

What a lot of people don't realize is that less is often more when it comes to camo. Good shit homie

@@DJTheMetalheadMercenary I kinda figured the washing would give a good tattered look to it as well, along with dulling any shine.
Great stuff man!
@@acrprotect4476 I mean, you get that through wear and tear too ;) Outdoor Camo paint is matte/ flat anyway so no shine woopwoop!!!
Looks amazing, I am definitely gonna have to give this a go!
Thanks bro! Yeah test things out, you'll find something that works for your AO :)
Don't forget that a Ukrainian company, Velmet, provides stencils for camo patterns.
