Painting a rifle?

[boxy]

I'm necro-ing this thread. Does anyone have new pics of rifles they painted? Looking for inspiration for matching the environment of the Front Range.

Thanks!

Not 100% related, but I spray painted my steel plate bright yellow thinking it would stand out in the grass up in Pawnee. As soon as the sun wasn't shining directly at it from behind me, I had a heck of a time seeing the dang thing. So get some yellow in there, is my suggestion.

I?d go tans and browns and skip the green. Unless you want to blend in with a city park or someone?s well manicured lawn you aren?t going to find much in nature in Colorado thats green.

Well I picked up some Aervoe Earth Yellow... thinking about that as a base coat.

Got some Field Drab and Earth Brown too. Picked up a green but not sure how I will use it yet. We are getting into the brown time of year.

Yellow base coat & then overlay a dithered hex with your different darks. Example below. Doubt this stencil will be any use but included a link anyway.

Just a thought.
