Did this a while back, used a 99 cent paint brush that I chopped up so it was super uneven, sprayed some Krylon camo and flat white on a piece of cardboard and brushed on. Get a lot of compliments at the range, well, before it got worn I did.
Think it's almost time to add another pattern over it and freshen it up a bit.

I like the brush idea and I'm thinking it's fairly easy to do.
You worked with just one color at a time, correct? |

For those that have changed the colors on there rifles, do you just say F' it and spray over your current paintjob? Or, do you go through the whole process of stripping it? I personally could careless on how well it stays as I like the look of a well used rifle.
Most current/ not so current photo I have. Allot more black and base color is showing now.
