    Got my Camo wrap today!!
    Cant wait.
    Its Mossy Oak.
    Will post some pics soon.
    have to do my rockers before we wrap it.
    inside is all od green debating on the grill, camo or paint.

    I got 6 sheets 4x6 foot for 250.00
    going to save some major time on body prep labor.
    just have to get to primer condition.
    And the wrap labor is a case of beer.

    I saw a place online that does Tiger Stripe wraps, application specific if I remember correctly.

    I told one of my cashiers that I wanted to do that to the CJ, and she thought I was nutso! R)

    LOL.

    Here they are.
    Doesnt look like much just laying on there.
    but you get the idea.
    Going to do the hood, cowl, complete sides , doors, and fenders.
    but thinking about the grill and tailgate in the interior camo green paint color.

    HOw hard is that stuff to remove down the road?

    Also, how much moisture will it hold against the body and cause rust? Or is this an issue?

    I have been studying up on it.
    now that I have some.

    Thier are too kinds permanet and removable.
    this is removable.
    And repositionable.
    Meaning it dosent stick hard till you rub it down.
    It is really thick and waterproof. No moisture.

    Due to lack of comments.
    And my own doubts I wounder if this is going to look OK or not.

    Still thinking on it.

    Maybe try doing the lower quarters in camo, and paint the upper OD green ? I like the green on my CJ....ya know, use the camo for a highlight sort of.

    The hard top will be od green.
    And the camo will just come up the sides to the crease.

    I donno... I'm thinking the combination of the OD and the wrap might look pretty cool - as long as you take your time with it so there are no air bubbles, creases, etc. You might want to just do certain parts of it, see how you like it and add more/remove areas depending on the look.

    Put some on, post up some pics, I'm sure someone will have an opinion...;)

    even if there are a couple small air bubbles don't worry just leave it in the sun for a while on a hot day and they will disappear.

    This stuff has air channles to help it smooth out.
    And I have pros putting it on for me.
    just a matter of how much to use where.
    I was thinking about just doing the center of the hood like the black stripe you see on Jeepsters.
    And the sides like panels
    I have seen it cut with flames which might look good at the back of the hood.
    I will be painting OD green on the rest.
    Interior and grill and gate.
    Black on the flares and custom rockers.
    Soft 8 rims in black.
    Maybe Camo the interior door panel area's
