Does anybody know a good way to get a camo look? Is there any good stencils out there?

You can make a stincil out of cardboard. Lay down a base coat and stincil on your secondary colors. Mack's Prairie Wings may have stincils though.

This should give you some options.

You can do homemade stencils or buy them. If you have some sticks and/or sage, you can bundle it and spray over it and it will leave more of a "hazy" look.

You can cut your own out of those corrugated plastic political or for sale signs. You can usually find plenty of them for free after elections and what not... The thicker corrugated plastice is perfect for stenciling. An added bonus about that material is that it is cleanable so that after you get build up on your stencil from spray paint, you can clean off the excess and keep your pattern in good shape. Good Luck.

I did the sage grass/stick stencil on my boat. I painted the whole boat black and went back over it with the grass and some tan, brown, and a little green (didn't use much green b/c it threw the whole look off).
