Perhaps just having fun out of boredom ?

If you want a car that is truly camouflage, you could paint the car matte asphault grey and add yellow lines over the top ...then just wait for the accidents to happen.

Not to discourage. Just confused.
I'm not worried about being attacked by U-Boats. It's for fun. Also one of the problems going slow is inattentive drivers. Hopefully people will notice the car more because of the contrast.

Imagine you're seeing these on the horizon through a periscope.









Confusing, no?

Exactly! Early versions would have false, large bow waves painted on. The "waves" would be proportionally large and make the ship looks smaller and faster. With the above advanced camo, and since ships are quite slow, it was hard to tell which way they were going. Of course that doesn't work on a car though. This is more a modern art project than camouflage.

If someone runs into me, $15 in spray paint is the last thing on my mind.
