I selected face paint, because if I could only use one, that would be my preferance. However, I use a net more often than I do face paint due to the ease of removal. I do not like the sound damping qualities of a camo net. I am hard of hearing and need as little interferance as I can get. When I don't have to worry about getting all the paint out of my ears, eyes, hair, etc, for the rest of the day, I use paint of various sorts. Still haven't found any that I REALLY like, so I settle on the old army compacs most of the time.
