I picked up a 98 civic a few days ago and he body is kind of ruff. The PO painted it flat black and it looks like crap so I was thinking about painting it camo. Was never a fan of the green and brown so I was going to do it in blue white and gray. Has this this trend faded away? I have not seen it in some time and I don't want to make the car look any dumber then it already looks. Let me know that you think

Here's my advice for anyone modding a car: screw what other people think. As long as you like it, do it. Plus, modding is all about making you stand out from the crowd.

Personally, I think a blue camo look would prolly look kinda cool, but I'd do it with either a plastidip look or a satin clear. Just make it look clean and keep the color scheme going throughout the car. Not saying you should camo everything, but keep blue/white/black (and possibly gunmetal, I think that'd be a nice touch) colors and accents going on all around. My car's rocking a blue/black/gunmetal/carbon fiber theme going on, just not in the camo sense.

You should take a look at the US Navy TFU (task force uniform) and use that as color inspiration. It's a digi print, which you don't have to follow (and quite frankly would be more of a pain in the *** to pull off), but for a camo theme, would work nicely. I know for a fact that the navy used an ink blot camo as a prototype before going with the digital kind. But I digress.

Thanks for the reply. I like the digital camo look and was thinking about going that route. Do you have any pics of your car as a reference?

I think this kind of Camo can look cool on a car:

I was thinking something along the lines of this.

That could look cool if done right. The new digital Camo is cool.

I kinda prefer the spots to be little more spread out so its not so busy.

Sure, just click on the "Azumi" link in my sig.

Also, here's the Navy TFU pattern. Looks a bit like the digi print pattern you just posted up.

This is what it's going on

Not a huge fan of camo cars, but that's why it's your car and not mine. Up here you find lots of crappy old pickups with DIY camo paintjobs so it's kinda "blech" to me.
