snow camo .204 (pics)
Thought I would post a picture of my .204 handi-rifle I painted up in snow camo.

Good looking rifle!

It appears you resisted the trend to put a lot of solid black on it. Should be very effective most of the year.

That's a very nice job. Do you have any before, during and after pics? I wish I had a little of that kind of talent.

Chris, don't sell yourself short!
Take an old beat up 22 and go for it!
What have you got to loose? If you feel a need to practice first, get a 2X4 and practice.

If you need patterns, google "camo patterns," there are lots to choose from.

I have done half a dozen camo jobs and they turned out surprisingly well.

You might just find a hidden talent...

Chris, flippy is right it's pretty easy. I used three colors primer grey, flat white, and flat black. I went out to my drive way and pulled weeds sticking up through the snow for some stencils. I started by spraying the whole gun grey and painted white stripes from stock to barrel. Then I took the grey paint and stencil on the white stripes and white paint and stencil on the grey stripes. finally I added black with stencil wherever I though it needed it. It's not the greatest and I've seen alot better,but it works for me. Anybody on here can do as good as job as I did or better!
