Re: would painting the wrangler camouflage be street legal?
 

Did that back in high school. We 'found' 5 gallons of the
reflecterized international orange that highway dept had misplaced and
rolled it on a 48 MB. Had a metal half top with improved head room
thanks to a few injudicious bumps we took and at night it would light
up from miles away when headlights hit it. We considered donating it
to AA when we graduated - bet we recruited more than a few new members
for them <g>.
