Default Camo paint on an ITR.

Hello everyone. I'm new to this particular site and very new to appearance forums in general as I care little for the appearance of my car. Anyway, here is my situation:

I own a 2001 ITR. It's twice a theft recovery, and now three times wrecked. The most recent damage was to the front end and it will actually be cheaper to go with a JDM front end. My issue involves paint. Being that I care little about the appearance of my car, I figured camo would be a financially practical solution to my problem (I don't want to go flat black as there are too many of those floating around town). I'm not asking for your opinions on my decision to go with camo, but I am asking if anyone has a good looking camouflage pattern that I can copy and use when I get around to painting it. I'm looking for a very basic army camo with green, black, and brown. Thanks everyone.

Instead of the camo you could go with a "rockabilly" type primer job. Flat black with red primer. Even try out the urban camo colors.

Interesting that your going with a JDM front end to save money, wouldn't a regular front USDM clip be cheaper?

There was once a camo civic in my area , looked ok but nothing special. The only reason I would do it is because not many people have it.

I've considered the other options available to me, I belive I may just go primer black for the time being, and then try something else in a couple of months. About the JDM front, my radiator support was bent severely along with the broken headlight and corner light. The fender is warped and the bumper is fixable, but I would replace it rather than try and fix it. I would replace the radiator support with a brand new one, just because that's the way I am and then all the other components would drive up a quite a price. I already have a set of JDM headlights just laying around and a friend has a brand new JDM radiator support. I found a guy offering the complete front end with a carbon hood and lip minus the headlights and radiator support for $800, so being that I had plans of replacing the hood anyway, I think it's much more ecomonical to go this route.

If your gonna go camo, go "desert storm" brown/beige/tan
