Has anyone of Y'alls ever tried to 'copy' Concamo with spray cans?
I'm not trying to be SUPER cheap, but there are a couple of items I'd like to paint to a camo pattern, and ideally I'd achieve something similar to Concamo or Phantomleaf.
I understand that it'll never be as super amazing as those two, and that I can get their materials for cheaper than my time + materials.. This is mostly a curiosity project.
I see that there needs to be large/medium/micro details and patterns. I think selecting. The right colors and the right proportions is also crucial.
How would you guys start and approach painting a backpack or a boot?

I think that’s way too much work. You need to achieve broad sharp shapes and then I guess sponge it. Sponging isn’t hard but getting the sharp shapes will be difficult unless you want to lay waste to masking tape or attempt some kind of stencil which will end up looking fuzzy with the final product.
I think it’s better to go for the atacs-like approach where you put splotches of color and then sponge on the other colors, and somewhere in between you attempt to add smaller shapes.
Great idea! I happen to have access to an industrial plotter, so I could make any kind of stencil at any size. Earlier I had really good results using thick mylar as stencil from printer cartridge linings with sharp holes and shapes, but so far the atacs camo has been out of my radar..
