Hi Terry
Thanks for the advice. Yes you are correct, in fact I actually have to
make the vehicle look totally non-military spec in order to be able to
even gain entry into many of the countries that I am travelling through.
This even goes to the point that somebody pointed out.... "Yes you can
paint it orange... but your silhouette doesn't change" ... which is very
true. Deuces are very well known vehicles worldwide and I have to make
some major modifications in order to enter many countries, and to avoid
the possibility of any midnight missile attacks on me!!!
My previous route was taking me through Israel, Jordan, Syria, and
Turkey, but I've capped that one on the head with the current political
situations.
Many thanks
Mike

Mike,
I don't know about the African countries or the Baltics or any of the
European countries and acceptance of CAMMO paint. I caution you. Do not
attempt to drive in South, Central America and Mexico with CAMMO paint.
It is not acceptable with their military. We don't take any Cammo green
trucks into Baja calif. for the same reason. They get very upset and
aggressive if they see it???? FYI----terry
