Stock Painting

I’m not artistic so after much google searching I used this as a plan:

Started with an almond base coat in appliance epoxy after two wipe downs with lacquer thinner.

It’s been several days and I couldn’t stand it any longer. Started with khaki rust oleum camo. Wasn’t impressed at this point to be honest

Then nutmeg rust oleum. Going to let it sit a few days. I’m liking it but always overly critical. Might go over with the base color a bit or maybe black.

Looks like a fine job to me!

[TexasBob]

Thanks. It’s growing on me. I’ll let it sit a few days and clearcoat it. I’ll probably have it hydrodipped eventually.

That looks pretty good.

Looks good. I’d add in something dark like a dark brown, charcoal grey, or black. Not much but adding some dark elements will create depth in the pattern

Hmm I like the grey idea. Was thinking green

You’re on the right track. With sponge painting you can duplicate the surrounding pretty easily. I painted this Remington/Leupold combo with several colors of Duracoat to blend in with WestTexas.

That looks awesome.

LOL, I'd probably put my gun and never be able to find it again. Nice work guys.

Where's the rifle in this photo?

Those both look good.
