recently tried my hand at a paint job. When I bought this rifle it was all one color, same as the barrel and action. I wanted some variety. Kind of wish I'd have taken the time and done one more color, but for now, she'll do.

After getting a good deal on a Burris XTRII 5-25 scope in a funky camo pattern, I decided to spray my Barrett to match. I did a bit of research and found a DIY hydro dip kit that had the same camo pattern by Pyrm1, though it turned out Pyrm1 makes the pattern in different shades. The scope is a lighter tan, whereas the rifle dip has more green tones. I practiced on several small pieces in the sink and never could get it right. So, I figured I'd spray it or wrap it. I then decided I'd take a shot at dipping it in the bathtub, and if it came out bad, I'd just spray over it anyway. It actually came out pretty sweet. There are a few lines where I wasn't smooth on the dip motion, and the bottom didn't get any ink so I just used camo paint and a brush to half-ass that section. I may get some vinyl wrap in the same pattern to do the barrel.
