+slowdownracer Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Nicely done!!! I've been finding too many unpainted ammo cans lately. A can of spray paint costs $2. Geez. Quote Link to comment

+Winstonsdad Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Nice! Care to share how you did it? Quote Link to comment
+Castle Mischief Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Swank. Kudos. Mozzletoff. Seriously, good job. Hey, I just noticed that you were a few caches away from me this last Saturday. You picked up a geocoin that I dropped off too. Coolio.

+sbell111 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Nice! Care to share how you did it? Paint entire can green. Cut out a few 'digital' stencils. Stencil can using tan and dark green paint, changing direction of stencils as you move about. Allow to dry. Edited November 23, 2009 by sbell111 Quote Link to comment

Hey, I just noticed that you were a few caches away from me this last Saturday. You picked up a geocoin that I dropped off too. Coolio. I was up on Wade Mountain. We didnt hit as many caches as we wanted but did get a few. Yes I dropped off a travel bug and picked one up. I need to find a good place for this ammo can but first im going to go get some good swag to put in. All military stuff , kind of a theme i guess. lackthecache Quote Link to comment

A little time consuming but it looks much better in person than the photo. BTW use graph paper for the stencils. Makes it easy. Edited November 23, 2009 by LackTheCache Quote Link to comment
+ZeroHecksGiven Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Saw this on halloween and was thinking of doing an ammo can like it, nice work... Quote Link to comment
+Crow-T-Robot Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Probably been done before but Im proud of it I'd say it hasn't been done enough! Very nice work. I usually put a coat or two of clear enamel on as a means of weatherproofing/scratch resistance. Bruce Quote Link to comment

+frinklabs Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I liked the graph paper idea; here's my first attempts with a match container and lock-and-lock: Quote Link to comment
Clan Riffster Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Digital camo? Brilliant! Quote Link to comment
+frinklabs Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Here's my first ammo can attempt with the graph paper method; I cut the templates on top of 2" wide painter's tape then used the tape pieces to connect the paper pieces: Quote Link to comment

mtbikernate Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I don't think I've ever seen a painted up ammo can. Most of my 'found' caches are of that style, and they are all the typical olive drab standard color. A little bit of paint like this would surely add a shade bit of challenge to some of them. I have run across painted stages to a multi (one I did last weekend used painted drink bottles), but they were just a solid color, which made them REALLY obvious. Again, some better painted camo like this would have added a little something to them. Quote Link to comment

Aren't the cachers in your area going to be pleasantly surprised when you start hiding nicely cammoed ammo cans for them to find? Quote Link to comment
