Huntn coues Report post Posted August 9, 2008 Well I am not much of an artist (cuz I can't even draw stick figures) so I opted for a pattern that I could free hand -but the next one I do I will do up in predator camo.(after one of my girls makes me some stencils). As far as the paint I got the camo spray cans at the Depot. After prepping the gun the first coat was sprayed on. The next few colors were applied with a very small paint brush like the kids get with water colors. All I did was spray the paint into it's own lid until I had some built up at the bottom. Did this process with 3 different colors. Then I finished it off with a can of non yellowing clear coat in matte finish. A friend of mine sent me a link on how to do this. I think its a long range shooting site anyhow that's where I got the idea to do it. And the ones done on that site are incredible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted August 15, 2008 Looks nice man! I did my 10-22 like that a while back for grins. Then I decided to hit my project gun I was working on. I used fiberglass tape taped to a template to get my "camo" pattern. It's fun, and with a little thinner takes it all off again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
