Painting a rifle?

Looks ok but didn't turn out quite as I'd hoped... in my head I had more of the tan showing through with more foliage patterns (basically going for something similar to this rifle with a bit more pattern in it). Also after seeing how it came out I want to throw some paint on the back of the scope. I'll probably end up redoing the pattern when it starts to wear down instead of just touching stuff up (or if I'm bored in the next few days and want something to do). Oh well, for my first camo paint job I'm happy with it.

I'll take better pics tomorrow in the daylight, but here's some with crap lighting and a crap cell phone camera...

I'd be down to do it, but you might want to wait till AFTER you see the pics of how mine came out before you decide if you want me to do it

Krylon Ultra Flat camouflage colors. Comes in green, brown, tan, and black and is only $4.47 a can at Wal Mart.

Went and did the turrets and the back of the scope. I think it looks a lot better.
Still gonna redo it though.

Well I got bored today and redid it a bit. Not a huge change but I'm a lot happier with it.
Couldn't find the battery for my camera so more crap cell phone pics...






And its home got a new sticker tonight, courtesy of redneck122...
(hint: it isn't the sniper sticker)

I think it looks good. Camo'd, but still has a clean look. Nice work.

Can you snap some pics outside? In some natural light?

Taking those indoors at night totally kills any detail or color.

That looks like a nice job but I want to SEE it! lol

I like it! One on these days I am going to get ballsy enough to paint one of my guns
