For Desert Storm, some painting at Camp Pendleton went like this:
1) drive vehicle into makeshift paint shop
2) spray the crap out of everything with tan paint
3) drive out of makeshift paint shop
4) wipe paint off of windows
5) let dry
6) scrape remaining excess paint off glass and plasic windows
i also know this method was applied to Jeep Cherokees and Toyota
LandCruisers in country.
