Shirtless Crackhead Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 So, my buddy got a truck and it was decided it needed some camouflage, here are the results. http://i.imgur.com/mAPQ4.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rYVuR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/zqRHz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5ru7x.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butts Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 You've got a little rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirtless Crackhead Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 It's a cheap beater truck, a hunting truck, not a show piece. The camouflage is actually really good, once the weather clears up we'll take it out into the woods and take some pics there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Looks pretty desaturated and faded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YUNG MASTERLESS GLENCOUR Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I dunno, I like it. I mean I wouldn't own that but hey it'll prolly do what you want it to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirtless Crackhead Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 It looks alot better than the original dirty/bright red paint job. The truck runs great for a beater, it's no high-way machine, but it's my buddy's work truck. It blends well to the local flora, bright colors and sharp contrasting patterns don't really camouflage rigid surfaces; and no camouflage works well if your eyes can already pick it out; I could stand there in multi-cam fatigues and it would look pretty stupid too.

Exorcet Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Latest vehicle attachment http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l563/AeroIm/E423doublefoil.png At 0 mph it weighs about 4 pounds At 30 mph it weighs 25 pounds Downforce is life (except when you fly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renketsu0 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Neat. What does it weigh at 60 mph? 100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exorcet Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Neat. What does it weigh at 60 mph? 100? You forgot to subtract the weight of the physical wing before finding the coefficient in front of v^2. I got 84 on the calculator. It's above the intended speed range though, so it will probably undergo separation and make less downforce. I haven't test it at 60 mph. I have tested a single E423 airfoil wing at that speed, and it made around 35 pounds I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exorcet Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 It's the perfect excuse to add a diffuser to the car. Also, what ACDC said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butts Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Went in a gas station to get a drink, came back out and it was like that. No new cars had parked or left. And of course, being that I live in Bumfuck, Alabama, there were no cameras. And I had literally just gotten the trim painted black a week earlier.

Butts Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Just spent $1200 getting it sanded down to bare metal and getting a complete paint job. Definitely not going to go and spray paint over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
