+GetTheLoot Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 What color do you think my writing on them should be? You know "Official Geocache Do Not Remove, etc." Got any pics of your camo ammo cans? Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Just slap a geocaching sticker on it or write on it with a black permanent marker. Quote Link to comment
+GetTheLoot Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 No, I'm using a nice stencil, but what color should the text be? Quote Link to comment
+KDotBlueDot Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Depends on the colour of the ammo can. I assume it is green. Beige works well. It's easily readable, but at the same time it is 'earthy', and will still blend in with it's surroundings. Black would also work ok if the ammo can isn't too dark. Quote Link to comment
GOF and Bacall Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I usually cammo paint with ultra flat green, brown, and black. I make sure that there is an area of green and brown large enough for the stencil and use the black for the lettering. I want it to be obvious when you see it, but not stand out before.

+StarBrand Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 For the perfect camo - go with army green. Black is pretty standard though. Quote Link to comment
GOF and Bacall Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Nothing beats a well cammoed set of cans. Quote Link to comment
+lazydawg Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Nothing beats a well cammoed set of cans. I like a nice set of cans, cammoed or not Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I usually use black. I've seen people go through the trouble of a nice camo job, then use white or blue paint for the lettering. I don't get that. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Just slap a geocaching sticker on it or write on it with a black permanent marker. The stickers don't stay stuck for long. A stencil makes a much nicer marker. On my two most recent ones, I cammo painted the cans very nicely, then stenciled on the bottom in gold paint. Its kind of a fun, somewhat classy touch (IMO), and actually, the gold blends a lot better than you might think. Quote Link to comment
