    What do you guys think?

    Alright guys so here is the deal. I parked the Merc. for about a year since I got her. She still runs, needs some work but I'm getting to it. Now thanks to me being stupid and not thinking my Paint has faded on one side due to the constant sun on that side for a year... I'm going to repair some rust and do some fibre glass work. I'm needing paint but have like $50 to my name to spend.... So I was thinking rattle can. Now this came across my mind and I was wondering what you guys would think.... CAMO. I was originally thinking standard Woodland Camo. But since the idea crossed my mind I've seen a few trucks painted camo like this. So how about an urban camo? (Blue, Grey, Black, white) I'm keeping my Vinyl top which is Black. I'll blast Clear over the Paint since I have a bunch left over from other projects and so it will last for a bit... any way I've had this Idea in my head and I've decided to ask my fellow Panther owners. Give me some feedback, I'm gonna work on some Photochop in the next day or so...

      Honestly I don't know. It popped into my head. Sounded different but the more I think the more it doesn't sound as appealing...

        Solid color would be cheaper, too....which is easier on your $50 budget.

            I agree, the camo would look good. I saw a late 80's ranger with the traditional green/brown/black camo for sale the other day and it looks nice.

                Lol. Yeah, the gangsta's may not apprieciate me rockin' their colors... I'm seriously thinking about a dark blue Urban style camo. But I don't know. I just thought it may be cool. Make the Tank look like a Tank... I'm still debating.

                        My friend painted his 79 monte winter beater camo. Redneck as fuck! We would do donuts in parking lots and swing the ass into big snow piles. Did I mention its Hillbilly as Fuck. You will get no pussy, I repeat no pussy. A truck, possibly, the car, nuh uh.

                          He has an old sedan, how much pussy can you possibly get with that? Chicks go after guys with sports cars and trucks, and in some weird cases station wagons, a sedan is probably the least-likely to get you laid car as can get.

                          FastGallopingPonies, do the urban camo thing, but think it over very well before you start - think it'd be way too easy to screw it up, and kinda expensive to fix that screw-up.
