One woulud have to wonder why you would paint a vehicle in a color scheme
that would make it difficult to find. When I go wheeling, I always have to
think about how the helicopters will get to find me. Having a como color
scheme would only make finding you that much more difficult, and if they are
looking for you there must be a good reason. I would think that a nice
florescent orange would be the color to have.

Good point Jeff. I used to fly the occasional SAR mission (always just
practice, never actually got called to fly a real SAR mission) and I
discovered that it's hard enough to find a normally painted vehicle that
is sitting in open terrain, let alone one that was painted with a
camouflage pattern. If me and my Jeep were stranded out in the middle
of the boondocks, I would suddenly feel pretty vulnerable if my TJ had
been painted with a camouflage pattern.

In my home state of Connecticut yo can paint your vehicle any colors you
wish -- I could paint my Cherokee to look like a fire department vehicle
if I wanted, so long as I don't pretend to be responding to an emergency
in it.

But here you do have to tell DMV that you did so within a certain time
frame (I think it is 5 business days).
