TTWHTD, yeah, that's the kind of look I'm thinking about. What colors did you use? Maybe I'll play around with the Gamo airgun ...

What 10 min of prep work, 2 cans of Rustoleum Camo spray paint, and a laundry bag will get you.

This was my first attempt at spraying a rifle. We'll see how it holds up but so far so good. You really just have to jump in and get at it. Prep work is the key, as with any paint job. I started with the lightest color first to get the base layer. Then grabbed some branches, twigs, other foilage and held that over the rifle as I spray the next layers on.

That's a pretty slick paint job!Quote:

Different base colors, different grasses, pine needles, leaves. Let the gun cure about a week before you oil it or handle it too much. Seemed to work for me but what the heck do I know.
Dangit, I think I'm going to make Krylon stock shoot up. I just remembered a couple of plastic lawn chairs that I haven't used in years because they were starting to leave dust on me ... if nothing else, they'll make good practice surfaces.
Honestly, I'm not gutsy enough to paint any of my guns... Maybe someday I'll muster up to courage to do my Ruger 10/22. [Dunno]

I have to say, this is exactly what I'm looking for when my M4 is finished. I like the idea of durakote, but most of the patterns seem a little too "Hollywood" for me. I guess I could go with base colors and do what you've done, but if Krylon is easy, cheap and repeatable, that seems like the way to go.
Had a small paint party today with a few members. Here is what my SBR looks like now. I love the new look
