Desert camo?!?!?!
Tweak, hellz no is that desert camo, that's fricking urban camo if I ever saw it. Look at those pics and tell me your truck wouldn't be invisible in your driveway if you painted the whole thing that color! Hah, awesome. But seriously, don't paint the whole thing that color. I, too, vote for the hood "tanout" and painted wheels to go with the roof.
Nice work.
Nice work.

Turf before painting I used 400 grit sand paper just to give it some texture for the paint to stick
AK I know there is nothing wrong with them she just picks with me cause it seems that I've gotten into all these things recently. But I am trying to avoid making my truck look tacky. Oh I forgot the paint matches the desert camo tire cover I picked up at the army surplus for $4 a while back. I'll get a pic later

If you find another deal like that on a tire cover, you better buy it for me. My Birthday is coming up, I'll turn 60 on May 26, all of you guys will get the weekend off of work in my Honor. Enjoy it.
I also noticed you matched it up to yuor house color. I would do the air brush thing, maybe a few classy zebra style stripes in that tan color, not too many just sort of abstract. There is a website for Zebra striped rovers. A friend of mine did his Series II that way and was on that website. They have pics from all over the world of people doing custom zebra and other wildlife patterns on a variety of Rovers. Some are by professional artists and quite impressive. Search Zebra striped Rovers.
I like the top and possible racing type strips on the hood also.
A lot of the green Rovers came with white tops. Yours is the first one I have seen in the tan top version. Looks good.
