How did you trace or paint the camo pattern? I'm thinking about painting my desert tan truck camo.

I marked the outline with chalk and traced over it very lightly with my gun several times, then I just filled in the sections.

Follow any type of pattern or just random?

I had a picture with me to get the general idea but pretty much just free formed the shapes.

How did the Wagner spray gun work? Did you add any thinner etc. or straight paint? Of course, where'd you get the paint? Sorry, I'm a noob but I remember painting my Gamma Goat in Germany back in 1985 with an air gun hooked up to the duece and half next to me. But I don't remember that good.

Used the Behr Home Depot paint and colors as outlined in the Behr paint thread.
The sprayer worked great and the coverage was excellent, cleanup was a breeze with soap and water.
Paint was not thinned to achieve the CARC texture.
