NULA/ULA CL Camo paint? #17260133 05/18/22 Joined: May 2022 Posts: 8 M mad_mordigan OP New Member OP mad_mordigan New Member M Joined: May 2022 Posts: 8 Hey all, hopefully this is an appropriate first post. I’ve sent my CLR to Mr Forbes to have his treatment done to it. I’m off to choose a color and have seen CL camo pop up but pictures from old posts are missing or too small to get a good visual. Any one have any good pictures? And while we’re at it feel free post up a picture of your NULA/ULA/“melvinized” CLR’s!

I've had both and liked that they let you pick the colors to use on them. I'm not a "camo" guy but really like those two. That said, all I have left now are a solid black and a brown with black stripes. The stripes are almost a NULA trademark.

So there's the reason for the green camo.
