What I've been noticing, both in pictures and in person, is that the average 'flat' paint isn't very flat, and reflects more light than any flat color should.
Does anyone know of a spray-can 'flat' type paint that doesn't reflect? Once in my life I've seen a flat-black car that actually seemed to absorb most light - it was a high-end, larger Mercedes AMG that was done to the 9's (perhaps by the factory?), and was a 'real' flat black. |

I've tested that out and my experience is that it looks much more tan/light brown than the picture you are showing, maybe similar to the color distortion shown on the bottom right of your hexmag.

Took me a while to get the courage to spray one of my rifles. Now that I’ve done it, I’m thinking I need some kryptek stencils in my life.

I used a dark brown, khaki and foliage green to paint general sections of the rifle (sort of like a candy cane but with camo instead of white and red). Then I hit the whole rifle with a light green (I think it was Krylon brand) to blend everything together. After that all dried, I did some light misting of different colors, light on dark patches and dark on light patches and used a sponge to add more definitive marks. |

This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

These are the colors I used on my Noveske for the “Bazooka Green” color they came out with. The rustoleum satin green is the color I believe I used by itself. The rest are the ones I mixed on my deer rifle.
