I've been to every store in town that carries spray paint and have not been able to find any Krylon Flat clear coat. Thanks, Gavin I've used a Valspar flat (not matte/satin) clearcoat, I found it at Lowes last time. Edit - Valspar 65060 Clear Flat, UPC# 071915233050 |

Here's my contribution. Just finished it Friday night. Krylon Camo khaki, OD, brown and matte finish. I think I'm addicted to this technique!

Good job on it though!

I just reassembled my Rem 700 308 after painting the stock and bipod the other day. I did not paint the scope and rest of the metal yet since I have not fired the gun with the new scope, rings, and base I installed. I want to make sure everything is definately good to go before I paint those items. Regardless, Krylon Fusion Camo Khaki base coat, followed by stripes of Olive, Brown, OD, and very sparingly Sandstone(the whitish looking areas). Finished with Krylon Matte Clear coat. I LOVE this technique! I was going for the multicam coloring without the template of course. Maybe a touch more green or a very very light green basecoat instead of Khaki??? But...it is always easier to blend in lighter than darker... Also, any good tips for when it comes to painting the scope?

But...it is always easier to blend in lighter than darker... Also, any good tips for when it comes to painting the scope? http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/7940/sniper1n.jpg That looks great. I really like the way you used the colors to have light areas and dark areas. Scopes are tricky. Because of their finsih, paint does not like to stick to them. I have a method that has worked fairly well. I'd love to take credit but someone else here put me on it. I do not remember his screen name...sorry. I like to clean the scope with alcohol wipes and of course, tape off anything that you don't want paint to get on. Start with your base coat and spray a VERY light misting coat...so light, that you may not even notice that you got any paint on the scope. Most of the time, I will preheat the scope with a hairdryer so the paint basically dries on contact. After the misting coat, I'll hit it with the hairdryer again. I then let it dry for a few hours. Next, I take a paper towel and wipe the scope down. You will see some of the paint coming off onto the towel. This is the paint that was not sticking very good. At times, I've had it look like more paint came off on the towel than stayed on the scope. Next, spray a second misting coat, let it dry and then repeat. I generally change towels every other coat. I repeat this proces until I have the base coat the desired color. With tan going over black, I've sprayed as many as 12 misting coats to get full coverage...yes, pattience is required. After the base coat is finished, I apply the pattern all in one step. I do not wipe the scope down anymore at this point but I do continue to preheat with the hairdryer and hit it with the hairdryer after applying the pattern. The paint from the pattern should be sticking to the base coat so if the base coat went on good you should have no worries. I then hit it with a matte clear coat for added protection. Good Luck. |

Thanks for the compliments and the tips for the scope. I think I finally developed my "own style" for the pine straws now. I start off by doing diagonal stripes with OD and Brown laying next to each other for the length of the gun...THEN I go back over in the opposite diagonal and direction with the half dozen Olive stripes and essentially overlap what I laid down. Finally, I'll lay just a few stripes with the Sandstone to make the finish POP with some very light coloring. What I found with using this many colors and the overlapping of the base stripe colors laid down is the straw marks aren't just Khaki. It looks really good to see the Sandstone leaving straw marks which are Olive in color for example or OD marks with Olive on top, etc. etc.. Thanks for developing this technique...you created a monster. I also do my stripes within 6 inches of the rifle and lay them down fast but heavy. It makes very defined lines through the straw and not this spackly mess without definition. I'll update the rifle pic when the metal is done.

Here's my latest; a bit of a hybrid. The brown on the lower end was laid over pine needles, my usual technique, and the mesh netting. I think it came out looking damned nice. Before I laid the color on, I painted the grip and rail panels with Rustoleum Textured paint. This gives it a nice grippy surface, similar to, but not as rough, as skaters tape. Finished the rifle off with Duracoat matte clear to seal it in.

Personnally, I paint alltogether.
I don't dissassembly 'cause I think that if do so, the overal scheme coherence will not be kept. In an other hand, the bolt inside the receiver preserve the chamber to receive any paint. |

Thanks Normally, I like to spray the base coat with everything taken apart and then reassemble for the camo pattern but... Here's one that I did and only camoed the stock. I really like this look. The scope came from a different rifle with a coyote base rather than the FDE base of the rifle. 
Here's a shotgun that I camoed and then reassembled just to show that it can look good as well. With the pinestraw pattern either way you do it can turn out fine.

I've done it both ways. I guess it's just a matter of how thorough (read anal) you want to be. The last two I've done, I pulled the barrel/receiver and put a basecoat on everthing. Then I reassemble for the camo pattern. On my current build, everything has gotten a coyote brown basecoat but only the stock is getting a camo pattern.

The only thing I haven't really seen mentioned in here, are you removing the anodizing prior to paint? Or are you getting decent adhesion leaving it intact?

Leave the anodizing. Just degrease with alcohol or other degreasing agent prior to paint.

Here's my new addition. Started off with a SAI Scout scope mount and modified handguard up front but I picked up a new GI handguard today and needed to paint it for everything to match. It was Mossy Oak from the factory.
Before: 
After: 
And before I painted the rifle, I thought I should try doing it on something else first, so I painted my homemade E-Caller. 
Sorry for the crappy Cellphone Pics. Plus it may be a little too dark for the prairie grass on the lowlands, but should be good to go for the sage-brush flats, and hills. |

Update:
Ok gang, finally got the high rings for an old 4x32 scope to mount up on the project. Couldn't wait on weather and schedule to paint it first, so took it out and dialed it in first. Finally, after a week of schedule/weather issues, took it off and shot it with the same colors and pattern as the rifle. Even though it was painted several weeks after and off the rifle, I was amazed how well it matched. This method works well and is very easy to do. Hardest part is the prep and masking, but even that isn't difficult. So those that are giving thought to doing this, all I can say is if I can do it, anyone can. Have fun and remember the two most important rules: Rule #1 Don't sweat the little stuff and Rule #2 It's all little stuff. LOL http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w507/Fltri02/camoscope2.jpg http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w507/Fltri02/camoscope3.jpg http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w507/Fltri02/camoscope4.jpg http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w507/Fltri02/camoscope5.jpg |

Thanks for all the pics and advice. This thread convinced me I could krylon my rifle....and I love how it turned out! I started with Krylon OD as the base, then used tan and light green with local leaves and pine needles to add contrast, then came back with OD to finish it off. Now I want to paint everything. Thanks, guys!

My first attempt. I wish the lines were a bit more defined, but it works for me.

I decided to camo an AR that I put together from spare parts I had laying around. You know you have a lot of parts when I built a complete AR and still have boxes of parts left over! Since the colors of the AR don't match up well at all I figured it's a perfect candidate for a Krylon job.
But, since I only painted one other firearm, a chopped down single barrelled shotgun, using evergreen branches, I wanted to practice on something first. This broken air rifle was perfect for practice. I'm happy with the way it turned out, so I'll be doing my coyote rifle tomorrow. I started with a base of khaki, then green, brown, and a little black for shadows. I went back with a little more green after it was all done. I'll post pics of the AR when it's done.

OK, the air rifle came out good yesterday, so I did my AR today. I might be trading my Mini-ACOG for a 4x ACOG, so until I know what ACOG is going to be mine, I can't paint it to match. I'll paint the Streamlight have for it to match when I do the ACOG.
