Thread: Defender camper - black roof bad idea?

Some Camper !!
Is that a Inter Mk3 behind ??

My Grandaughter Votes Purple, I like Khaki.
Bronze with Black roof looks good on a 90 but gross on your 6x6

but as you said stay away from milliatry colours, It might get confiscated by the local warlord, would make a good Technical.

Some schemes below - easier in photoshop than making a mistake you will regret with wrong paint scheme

If not white, silver or go all fancy and get a clear coat over the bare alloy.

The vehicle is going to stick out like dogs danglers regardless so the most practicable scheme would be to blend into the environment as much as possible so make it look like a tour operators vehicle. Although the yellow TD5 Defenders did look nice

My favourite!

This is great, did you just use Adobe Photoshop to do it?

The red looks pretty good, the khaki and sand too for something more 'natural'.

I'm liking that ivory stone type color at the bottom

The ivory stone still looks a bit too military to me.

The last thing you want is a kid with poor colour vision and an RPG to think you are a troop transport.

White / Red are the ambulance colours. Yellow is probably fine too.

From reading Expedition Portal and other forums, steer clear of anything that looks military or UN (sand, khaki, olive drab, camo schemes) and anything that looks too rich (gold).
There was a pair of Wolfs that were done up for expeditions and painted gold, one of them lasted a few weeks before being resprayed to a (slightly) less extravagant silver.

Lime green with black, orange and red flames, or maybe hippy spec flower power!
