Painting an R700

[Ronin13]

So this waiting game is killing me and has me thinking, when I finally do get my R700 .308, I kinda think I want to paint it. Question is, since I have not one really artistic bone in my body, how to go about this:

Kinda think a woodland style paint job like what the USMC sniper guys do would be awesome and should I have someone with actual painting talent do the work, or should I grab a few rattle cans of gun pain and try it myself?

Krylon , dried grass , masking tape and give it hell . Comes off with acetone so its easy enough to start over .

Yep grab some paint and give it hell.

Here is one that I did, I will try and get some better pics of it

Drink a couple of beers. It'll help get your nerve up.
