DWrightCamo guns
Getting ready to break out the ol air brush and do some paint jobs on the rifle stocks, and wondering of anyone has some camo'd guns they'd like to show off here.
Figured maybe I could get some ideas from them on how to do a couple of them.
I have a few now and know well how to go about it, but just looking for pattern ideas.
ANYONE?

wasbeemanNo way am I gonna own a camo rifle. I leaned a wood and blue rifle against a tree while I walked a short distance away to take a dump and had to hunt almost two hours to find the rifle.

Aim for the exit hole

BigNateI have two. This first one is a Win 70 in .25-06. Factory tupperware.
The next one will take me a bit to post as I don't have a pic of it but it's leaning by the door. I'll update this post.
This is my paint job with a rattle can. Base is flat desert tan, the I laid pieces of real veg over it and sprayed the OD. The light colored flat base allows the relief look. It is easy for a rattle can. With an air brush you may be able to do some really cool stuff.

LouMI don't know if this would count as camo, but I just love the look of Todd Williams' in this post:
http://forums.accuratereloadin...4711043/m/7761073081I don't have a rifle with a plastic stock, yet, nor a beat up wood one, but it is something I would like to try my hand at.

BiebsLou, I'm sure Kelly at Match Grade Arms would spray any stock in his camo patterns for a reasonable price. Most shops are $150-$175.

Anyway, just use your imagination, plan your work and work your plan. If a no talent old fart like me can do it, anyone can.

Dr. LouWould using Krylon matte clear make it a more durable finish?

GeedubyaDr. Lou,
After the base coats (3) and the webbing spray, I add at least three coats of RustOleum Ultra 2X Matte clear coat as a sealer. Yes it makes it much more durable.
