Javaman,

How you doing man.
Sorry it took so look for me to say something. Got to help my people out.

-Base coat. (the domainant color in your AO)
Make the first coat light, and then add another good heavier coat.

-Place a piece of mesh over the marker.
Do the other color in your AO, in stripes. Or blotches, whatever you want.

It will look like these:

Oh...so now i know what im talking about??? I thought i didnt know sh*t??

Anyway.
Any kind of mesh... Bookbag mesh, Camo Mesh , Football jersey mesh, just mesh dude. Only difference is some mesh patterns will be wider than others.

I ALSO SUGGEST USING A FINAL COAT OF CLEAR MATTE, TO PROTECT THE PAINT.
Also, alpha delete you posts from my thread....THANK YOU!

**Javaman** · July 30th, 07:34 AM

It would cause almost as much blockage as it lets through paint, but It might look pretty neat using the fly screen. The first thing I'm going to paint (After practicing with scrap!) is my Egg2 hopper. Rough sanding and priming should help the top coats stick a lot better since it's such a smooth surface.

**Ryan_Page** · July 30th, 07:35 AM

if you use fly screen, tell us how it turns out.

**SNiPER FiRE** · July 30th, 07:27 PM

lightly sand it, and DONT USE FLY SCREEN. There would be no break up effect from a distance (if the paint even goes through the screen) The paint dots would all blend together from a distance. IT WOULD BE DUMB TO EVEN USE FLY SCREEN.

*HUR HUR* "use fly screen" *HUR HUR* f~ckin' stupid.....

USE MESH!!!!

**Javaman** · July 30th, 08:32 PM

Wow, lighten up man. There really is no right way to do camo. After all look at all the different patterns other countries use (Flecktar, (sp) Tiger stripe, Woodland etc.). I agree that it's important to break the shape up, but isn't that what the different color blobs do? At a long distance any type of screening will look like a solid blob. There's nothing wrong with experimenting.

BTW, my hometown is Morgantown WV.

I know man, we have talked before about west virginia. But about camo, yes i know this. But dumb people just get on my nerves. I'm talking about mesh, and then all of a sudden someone says "derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, use fly screen." FLY SCREEN, wtf???

**Javaman** · July 31st, 06:10 PM

Ah. that's right. I have a short term memory occasionally. What were we talking about again?
