The desert one was done by a guy who posted on here in it's earlier guise. If I remember how he converted it and what he used was in his posts, maybe a search would find it? Was it Patrick?

A Tiger tank paint job is not a bad idea. However urban camouflage like the Chieftain tank below is probably not a good idea in an urban area for obvious reasons. I think that is what they used in West Berlin back in the Cold War days.
It\'s ok , this will only take 5 minutes.

Supposedly they had radar absorbing paint on the vehicles in Operation Desert Storm. Now that would be the ticket!

I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Guys, you are confusing two completely different topics.  We'll leave the radar absorbing subject aside for obvious reasons; the infra-red-reflective (green, sand, or black) does what it says on the tin.  Won't have any effect on GATSO as they use microwaves, but put an IR laser on it and it'll light up like a HID  :bug_eye
