I have been wanting to do a camo paint job on one of my rifles and was going to start a post for suggestions on how to go about it. -Tracy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josh Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Thanks for the compliments I am real happy how it came out. It is pretty simple I first cleand the entire rifle with acetone to get off all the oil and stickem left from the camo tape I had on it. Then taped off the things I didn't want paint on like the power adjustment on scope, and scope lenses. Next I took off the grip and trigger. The grip because I didn't know if the paint would work well on the Ergo grip which is rubber. Next I painted the entire gun with Rustoleum Camo spay paint from The Depot it comes in four colors that I could find. The first coat was khaki I hit it a couple times because I didn't use a primer( I have read where guys use a self etching primer first but it really doesn't seem necessary) Next I used the dark green in a candy cane stripe pattern on the rifle. Let dry and then used a real sea sponge and dipped it in the lite green and dabbed it on the dark green and khaki. Next was the dark brown this I did not use as heavy. Third I used the khaki and dark green to blend everything together. Last step was to apply a krylon matte finish to help protect. Hope this helps. As I read somewhere else the hard part is getting up the nerve to push the button for the first time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
