I believe that!

One of my current projects is to paint our Suzuki Samuria in a camo pattern instead of the white that it is. Today I finally got a chance to try some different colors and then take them out into the sage to see how they looked.

Boy - that first one looks good from here :~D

What a fun project!

[Slump Tester]

We need a picture posted so folks will go here for more pics and the story.

[Duchess47]

I am having a lot of fun with it. It's still too cold and miserable to get much done but at least I've determined which colors I'll use.

[Duchess47]

What a precious little baby :) and an incredible story.

[CindyDawg]

What am I looking at? Is it cars? Whatever it is you are concealing, you are doing a good job:')

[Duchess47]

Right now it's just four different poster boards, about 18" by 24". I want to paint our Suzuki which is rather like a jeep. It's white now and sticks out like a neon sign when we head into the hills. I'm working on making it disappear into the sage :)

[CindyDawg]

Ok,ok:') Well the first color the best. The last is good too.

[CindyDawg]

I would like to see Okie from a distance in your desert. His white would probably show thru but I bet he would blend in good.

[Duchess47]

Paints and Apps - the ultimate camouflage horses :) No wonder the indians rode them.

[CindyDawg]

One of these days I'm going to horse paint him.

[Duchess47]

That would be cool to see.

[Beaker]

I like the first camo pattern and color.

[Beaker]

Bays are great camo horses during the fall. :-) Trust me, I once lost one in the woods.

[Duchess47]

That must have been something, searching the woods for a horse. :)

[Duchess47]

The first one is the one I'll use I think. It's the one on the far left and it really belended well.

[Duchess47]

Oops - the second one is the one on the far left.

[Beaker]

That must have been something, searching the woods for a horse. :)
It certainly gives you a heart attack. Fortunately he found the neighbors new crop of green grass in their back yard to be far more attractive than playing hide and seek. It made him easier to catch. But he left his calling card in the form of great big hoof shaped patches of missing grass when he tried to peel out and run away again.

[Duchess47]

Oh boy, I'll bet the neighbors loved him :) I guess the only good thing about having so many horses is that even if they do get loose, they don't go far, they don't want to leave their buddies.
