Jeep Wrangler YJ Snow Camo Spray Bomb Paint! (Cheap-ish driveway job)

[@Jessyssej]

Dude it went from a beater to a designer jeep 👌 PS. excellent music choice.

[@carlreed3571]

HELL YES,,THAT LOOKS GREAT,,,DUDE THAT'S NICE!!!!!

[@Jax240jk]

I've been camouflaging my 42ft narrowboat and loving it! I'm on the 2nd colour. I used a paint spray machine on the base coat and the pattern I'm doing with a paint brush and small roller. My patches are huge compared to yours. You did a great job on your jeep.

[@bombdiggitydave3881]

Dave. Keep the diy projects coming...RANDOM AND EXTREMELY...awesome. thanks!

[@randomactsofdave7435]

I really appreciate the positive comment. I'll keep posting stuff as I can and it'll all be extremely RANDOM 👌. Cheers!

Thinking about doing this to my 1988 Toyota pickup

[@randomactsofdave7435]

That is about the only Toyota I can find acceptable. But in full camo would for sure be a sweet lil truck. Best of luck to ya if you do, any questions feel free to ask. Cheers!

[@HuRriCaNe-wm5ds]

@@randomactsofdave7435 any tips before doing this such as prep work,materials,and the part of the video you cut out?

[@randomactsofdave7435]

I sanded everything just enough to scuff the original paint. I think I used 220 grit on my palm sander. I wiped everything down with xylene (cause I had some) but rubbing alcohol or possibly Windex would be ok. Anything bare metal should get a shot of primer. I used poster board from the dollar store as my stencils and plain brown gift wrap as my masking material. Newspaper or something would work as well. Prepare do go through a few rolls of tape. I looked at a camo pattern I liked, tried drawing out similar shapes and cutting them out of the poster board with a Sharp blade. I taped 2 posters together to make the shapes. I feel it would have been easier if i had started by painting larger shapes at first. Maybe tape 3 or 4 poster boards together for the first layer. Tape a few shapes down and spray one color. Let it dry move the shapes around and spray the next color. The missing footage was an unfortunate result of an amazon special camera that corrupted my files. It was mostly footage of more masking, taping, painting and drying. I honestly had no idea what I was doing when I started. If you come at it with nothing to loose you will loose nothing. My backup plan was to go back to flat black if i didn't like it. Otherwise I hope it works out for ya if you do try. Any other questions feel free to ask. Cheers!

Looks amazing! Loved the final result

Why paint the roof (vehicle so high can't see the top? White in the camo is very unique.

[@steadyjumps]

Dude, that looks awesome especially since it was in a driveway. Nice work!!!!

One day I'll have a garage but until then use the space ya got Thanks for the compliment. Love hearing the feed back.

amazing vid! Im in Colorado, so when SHTF there will be snow in the rockies, so vid helped bigly.. I hope RS comes and helps us soon. cheers broo

[@vortecmacs]

I hope you’re still making videos. I want more on this Jeep.

[@randomactsofdave7435]

I will be making some sort of content hopfully soon. My personal life kind of imploded over the last while, but I will be making vids. Anything in particular you'd like to see?

[@vortecmacs]

@@randomactsofdave7435 I’m always down for vehicular content. Especially 4x4 stuff. I’m sorry to hear your life got difficult. I hope you’re in a better place right now. I certainly don’t mean to sound as though I’m complaining about no content, I was just hoping you hadn’t decided to stop entirely. Glad you have plans to continue. You have to take care of you and yours first, however. I totally understand. Again, I hope you’re in a better place now.

[@randomactsofdave7435]

Thank you for the kind words. It's a lot of work trying to figure out ones self. It's much easier just working on Jeeps 🤣. The journey here has been bumpy but I can't wait for spring to get started on some projects! Along with my YJ I also have an XJ I will be trying to bring back. Actually I have 2 XJs that are to become one. No promises on how much content I'll put out but there will be something coming in the next bit. Cheers!

Well dang! That looks good!

[@condor-6-one83]

Looks pretty sweet actually. Maybe you should put a big baby blue UN on the doors

[@randomactsofdave7435]

Only if I mount a gun to the roof. But then I'd probably get the letters F U on the door instead.

[@magicalempire]

fantastic great job, i am gonna paint mine too, you give me inspiration

[@randomactsofdave7435]

If you do paint yours I'd love to know how it turns out. If you come at it with nothing to lose, you will lose nothing (and hopefully have a minty ride in the end). Cheers

[@vikingrus94studio33]

Imperfection is key with camo jobs , trust me all the hum-vs I drove in the army came out the same way u did a fantastic job!

[@randomactsofdave7435]

By comparing the quality of my camo to actual army used Hum-vs, I believe you just gave me one of the best compliments I could get. Thanks so much, I appreciate it! Cheers

[@vikingrus94studio33]

@@randomactsofdave7435 No Problem, it's the sickest jeep I've ever seen.

[@randomactsofdave7435]

What a compliment! The whole Jeep has been built on a shoestring budget. Although anyone that has tried building up a Jeep will tell you, there's no such thing as a cheap build. I just wish I had started making KZbin vidjas earlier on in the process. The response has been awesome. Thanks again 👌

[@Cucuy_HMMWV]

Bro !!! 🔥🔥🤘🏽 DOPE AF

[@dougontheotherchannel3078]

Bud I tell ya. Lou looks better than I’d have ever guess a driveway job like that could! The maple leaf is 10/10. An awesome touch. If I pay airfare will you come give Willy the desert camp he deserves??

[@randomactsofdave7435]

Thanks for the compliment bud. You pay the airfair and I'm there guy! I just may need to sleep in the garage for a couple days!

[@DrOksalev]

Looks great! the music was really ad-hoc BTW

[@randomactsofdave7435]

I will admit the music choice was forced due to copyright restrictions. Once I started editing those songs in I was more than pleased with the choices. Cheers!

[@RuffKutz]

Good job man. 🇭🇲

[@randomactsofdave7435]

Thanks a bunch! I think the camo came out pretty mint, just wish I could say the same about my video making ability. Haha! Cheers

[@RuffKutz]

Your either a pro video maker or a novice video making interesting and helpful content. I like helpful content. I Plasti dipped my ute camo 5 years ago but had to respray black as it takes a beating in the Aussie sun. It's about time to camo spray it again. I should do a video.

[@randomactsofdave7435]

I appreciate the positive feedback! It took a friend of mine that does KZbin videos to convince me to try. I say go for it and I'd love to see it. If the hot Aussie sun is fading out the paint maybe try the dessert camo. Beiges and browns don't fade as easy and would look minnnnt👌

[@randomactsofdave7435]

Also I know plasti dip overall fades terrible in the sun. The clear coat I used is supposed to be UV resistant so it should last longer with paint. I will admit I'd love to see a snow camo ute tearing up the outback!

[@RuffKutz]

It took a few years for it to fade. Tan black brown and green. The tan almost became beige lol. This time will be tan brown black. Skipping the green as it didn't really make sense in our bush. I will at least do a walk around when i finish and post. Hopefully in the next few weeks. Just waiting on few more cans. My isuzu Dmax was brand new when i plasti dipped it so the original paint is still in great shape.

[@mikeball9270]

Man that’s a great job I know it’s hard I did a Chevy tracker in a weed camo look prey darn good but I’m been wanting a snow camo and came across ur vid, tell me how did u come up with ur stencils???

[@randomactsofdave7435]

Thanks a bunch. I really wasn't sure how it was going to come out when I started. My stencils were just two standard posters boards from a dollar store taped together. As for the pattern, I had a photo of a basic snow camo and just tried to draw the individual shapes just larger. I drew it in pencil on the poster board so I could erase and change. Once satisfied I just used a utility knife to cut out the middles. I made about 10 different sizes and shapes. When painting I learned not to overlap the patterns too much. I'll also add the final product will really depend on what you used as your base color. I was going for a darker "urban" snow camo . If you intend on going for a brighter shade start with either grey or white as a base. The white blotches were the hardest to paint over the dark base. I'm just rambling now so if you want any more detail or any other questions, feel free to ask. Cheers

[@mikeball9270]

Ya I think I’ll do the white base first then make pattern stencils with black, gray and flat black my wheels I’ll post on here or email ya the finished product

[@mikeball9270]

My email is [e-mail]

[@randomactsofdave7435]

I would love to see how it turns out. I'm sure it will look great, but If not it's not my fault haha! Cheers, best of luck!

[@PrimitiveOverland]

It looks good but I don't understand why everyone is obsessed with skulls on everything.

[@randomactsofdave7435]

Skulls are just a personal esthetic choice. It's like people that chrome everything. Some people take it too far and some do it tastefully.

Looks great. But unfortunately you still have a rusty car under that paint

[@randomactsofdave7435]

It wouldn't be a real jeep if it wasn't rusty underneath. It's not my final paint job. I intend to do the same pattern with bedliner once I actually do some proper body work.

[@blackjack9863]

Can You do this on my jeep please?

If I was setup for stuff like that I would consider doing it for others. Otherwise I'm just a driveway monkey throwing shit on my own stuff.
