Over the past few weeks I've painted two of mine
The bottom I did the other week, practicing color blending/softening the edges. The top one I did today, first time I used foliage. Mostly rosemary. My fingers smelled great afterwards!

ETA you may want to add more contrast to the lower rifle to break up the pattern |

 Attached Fileworking on this today. My Vinci started rusting if I even thought of the marsh just in the past year. Didn't matter how much I cleaned or oiled it would rust. So I got after it with the steel wool and rattle cans today. |

I think I posted this rifle earlier in the thread, but I recently swapped the Magpul MOE handguard for a free-float handguard this week, and hope to get it to the range this weekend.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By tcmass: [url=https://ibb.co/02DzLBC][img]https://i.ibb.co/9g8d0wb/IMG-7088.jpg[/url][/i,g] First time spraying or even using stencils. Now with the finished product I see what I would have done differently with paint and stencil clustering. The difficulty in replicating MultiCam is the fade: most of the snaps are not of uniform (color) density but fade into/out of each other. Hard to duplicate. |

My 11.5 BCM has been through a few iterations. Once the paint wears off or I get bored it’s time for a repaint.

Next one I'm going to use larger pieces of sponge so the color blotches break the outline better. |

There’s a good amount of deep green in it but the picture didn’t pick it up. I’ll take another shot in the Florida sun. This was my first spray, and I’m addicted.

I think it's meant to be used for socks and undies. It does pattern well. Just cut it down the sides and open it up. |

My first rattle can. Inspired by Bringo’s copperhead paint job. My lines didn’t come out as defined as I wanted, but still very pleased. It’s tough to recognize when to stop spraying paint.

Thanks buddy--I was just having fun with the paint gun. It's a Mystery Ranch Blackjack LB 35. Great pack. For camping (living luxuriously) in winter it gets pretty full pretty quick. Haven't tried for summer yet, but I could slim down sustainment significantly for ammo and gear. Blackjack LT35 |

Rattle can always looks like shit when it's fresh. It will look great in probably a few weeks once it "melts" together, I promise. 👌

We actually have four seasons in my AO so brown just kinda works all year. Plus I’m too lazy for stencils and different color combos
