    Default Painting a rifle?

    What do you guys like to use to make your patterns? Any pics of said work?

    I'm off to Wal Mart to pick up some Krylon ultra flat spraypaint, then I'm gonna clean and tape stuff off, and I'll check back when I'm done with that.

    Painter's tape on wax-paper that is printed on has treated me well for most patterns.

    Well I couldn't really find any pics of paint jobs that I really liked, so I figured screw it I'll just wing it.
    I went and cut off pieces of vegetation around the area that I'll use to help make the pattern. I'll post pics when I'm done... waiting on the base color (tan/khaki) to dry now.
