So much haterade being sipped on.

Must admit it looks like the typical paint job manufacturers put on test cars on test tracks to deter automotive photogs from seeing the precise lines on upcoming cars. LOLz.

However that being said, the above it a big meh. Though the idea has merit, it could be developed further into something a bit more appeasing and not something out of a 1980s flashback.

I have always wanted to see a car done up in the WWI and WWII US Navy camouflage schemes - like in these photos.

How is that gonna help? I'd spot those easier than normal painted ships

camo like that only works in bushy regions, not in the middle of the ocean...

It works as it distorts the ship's appearance on the horizon. These boats were done in the days before on-board ship radar was common. The lines and variation in colour assist in changing the ship's appearance on the horizon where it would have been viewed through the enemy's binoculars/rangefinder. The lines distort the vision of the ship, making identifying it (and therefore how many guns it carries) difficult as well as judging how far away the boat is.

Nowdays it would be useless.

As someone mentioned above, a similar technique is used to disguise car testing mules and prototypes on open road tests. It makes the edges and 'lines' of the car harder to discern.

Edit:

Added from from Wikipedia:

"At first glance it seems unlikely camouflage, drawing attention to the ship rather than hiding it, but this technique was developed after the Allied Navy's failure to develop effective means to disguise ships in all weather.

Dazzle did not conceal the ship but made it difficult for the enemy to estimate its type, size, speed and heading. The idea was to disrupt the visual rangefinders used for naval artillery. Its purpose was confusion rather than concealment.[1] An observer would find it difficult to know exactly whether the stern or the bow is in view; and it would be equally difficult to estimate whether the observed vessel is moving towards or away from the observer's position.[2]"

hmmmm, that's actually a pretty smart idea, I didn't think of viewing it from far away, I just thought it wouldn't work if you were up close, which it won't.
