Rattle can camo patterns

[Younggun]

Testing some different camo colors using 550 cord.

Not really feelin the much on the tan. Maybe with a lighter inconsistent coat. Gonna try some more combinations and paint patters to see how they come out. Like the last one best so far.

needs more oak leaves

Interesting.

 

[Younggun]

Don't spend much time in oak trees. More about breaking up patters in grass and broom weed, and briars.

might try some yucca then. I like using real foliage as a stencil

 

[Younggun]

Will do.

Although last time I was involved in that stuff I came out feeling like I was covered in fire ants, lol.

Don't ever try to chop one down with a machete.

Kinda your pattern with colors inverted.

 

[Younggun]

Similar to what I'll be blending with. Close enough that the pattern would work well in both areas.

With the nature of the Texas landscape there really won't be a prefect year round pattern here. Green in spring and fall, burnt and brown summer and winter.

Scattered mesquites and the small clumps of oaks got enough briars mixed in to keep me out. Not really in areas I would try to hunt or shoot anyways.

Close enough? WhereTF is Jack Tactical??

 

[Younggun]

He's been on missions. Black ops stuff. Operating down range outside the wire in the sand box.

I'll be watching this one.

A few of mine. The AR originally had a fern type pattern but gun cleaner ruined it. I repainted it the easy way instead of all that work.

 

[Younggun]

Thanks for the pics.

Thinking about it, I'm not sure how much a pattern will even show. Planning on painting the Handi Rifle, optics and all.

The only place I think an leaves or other stencil type patters would show would be the butt stock.

 

[Dawico]

The patterns do a good job of breaking up the long profile of the barrel.

The buttstock is a good place for your fancy work but if you can get the barrel to hide well then you have done the job well.

No camo will work everywhere in every condition. Get it to where you like it and call it good. If you have some OCD like me you have to learn to walk away. It will never be "perfect".

This is the truck gun, first attempt at painting a rifle with something other than a solid color.

 

[Younggun]

Nice.

How's the paint holding up?

 

[Acera]

Nice.

How's the paint holding up?

It is looking better with age. A few dings, scratches, bumps etc. bouncing around has helped it's look.

No rust, or failure on the part of the paint.

I just recently stripped the paint job on two of my rifles. One is still painted. Its been 3 years and its still holding good. None of them had any primer shot as initial coat. All of it has been rustoleum brand rattle can with multiple base coats and then a final satin clear coat finish.

I did not experiance significant wear and tear. In fact it has held up as good or BETTER than both my previously duracoated and cerakoted weapons.

I will be doing a kryptek style camo on mine. Kryptek and fishnetting style camo blends into various terrain much better and is also appealing to the eye.

I've looked at the fishnet finished and given it a bit of consideration. Plan to try it if I can come up with some fishnet material for cheap.
