Another thing to consider is the multicam patterns don't have evenly spaced out off color patterns, rather they appear at random with mulitple colors overalapping, and then no color except for the top coat in other areas. https://photos.smugmug.com/Gun-pix/i-ZVJTNJw/0/a1b13c39/L/IMG_20190207_155850_891-L.jpg View Quote |

I had some arts and crafts time yesterday and decided to try and spider web effect for my 22lr and 300BLK pistols. The 22lr received a foliage green base from Krylon while the 300BLK wears camo khaki from Rustoleum. They both have the same, black graffiti spray paint from Montana Cans. The 22lr is also sporting an AFG inspired handguard I 3d printed.

I read all through this thread and finally decided to get aggressive today and try some rattle can. I've always loved the look of kryptek so went with sticker stencils.
I'm fine with it as a first try, I'll know what to do different next time. Couple spots look good, others not enough contrast. It was fun tho. I wanna try a black and grey kryptek style pattern next. Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Went back to the well, different stencils which was good in some ways but not others. I got the yellow, high heat stencils this time. The good - they're much stickier and stretch a little to work around edges. The bad - I don't like the pattern shapes quite as well, and not all the scales had cutouts so I wasn't able to do my colors exactly like I wanted. Overall came out lighter than I intended and I may end up repainting. Or I'll let it wear and call it good. Probably the latter
6.5 Grendel, new build. Waiting for suppressor mount brake and a new handle, and this will become my night hunting gun. Attached File Attached File |

Here’s my second attempt at a rattle-can paint job (I did my B22 a few days ago), Rust-oleum khaki and forest green, really happy how it turned out.

But I didn't have another $3k-$5k, so I got this and I'm happy every time I go out hunting. I can spot game from 800+ yards, I can see mice running in the field from 50 yards. Where the high-end thermals shine so much is IDing, but I can tell deer from hogs past 150 yards now, maybe more, and that's good enough for me. Bottom line: I love it. And pic thread, so here it is on the now-completed Grendel, along with the Alumahyded 300blk it replaced for hog hunting. Attached File |
