Even flat clear coat makes them too shiny for me. I always just sprayed paint and let it be.

I wouldn't mind disguising the giant manhole cover and surrounding concrete 'circle' just a few feet off our patio...common area of the condo complex; but I'm on the board and might be able to get away with it. That area looks like a flying saucer landed in the yard!
Actually, we have quite a few concrete "eye sores" dotting the landscape...might be a good project.

Clean them, rough them up, and paint them. If your camo skills are strong then nobody will notice.I wouldn't mind disguising the giant manhole cover and surrounding concrete 'circle' just a few feet off our patio...common area of the condo complex; but I'm on the board and might be able to get away with it.

Been using the lace, nets, and tape with rattle cans for years. I used to use camo tape and wraps and always had the lace paint jobs they put on cars in my "youth" in the back of my mind.
Then one day I read a quote from one of the bigger name gun writers talking about rattle canning a new gun and he had some one comment "You'll NEVER get that off there!" with his reply being "I hope not. I don't want to be doing this every year." That statement right there flipped the scale for me and I been doing it to any gun I use often for any kind of serious hunting.
I like mine to imitate a snake generally. Lighter on the bottom, darker on top to counter balance the sun light on the top and the darker shade affect on the bottom. It seems to work pretty good for snakes.

I like it. Thanks for sharingBeen using the lace, nets, and tape with rattle cans for years. I used to use camo tape and wraps and always had the lace paint jobs they put on cars in my "youth" in the back of my mind.

She's beatup but gets the job done. Base coat of tan with green "stripes" then "misted" with a can of black from about 2 feet away to darken it up a bit. All in Krylon but I discovered Aerove paint a while back and they sell rattle cans in "mil spec" colors and have started using it for projects instead. Seems to be a tougher paint thats harder to knock.
Got this done last night. Will get pics outside in sunlight, whenever that is. Inside pics are hard to see the detail and actual color.
Colors: Rust. Khaki and Primer Gray, Krylon Italian Olive and Earth Brown.
I don't see anything.

Aw man that went right over my head lol. It had been forever since I'd used my imgur account I was sure I screwed it up.
And thanks. Wish I could get pics noe. But its way too cold out and I'm a weeny to be standing out in it taking pics
Nope. Krylon is tough enough. After its completely dry, it takes a bit to wear it. I've soaked a painted scope ring in break fluid. Crap didn't loosen. I left it in the jar and forgot about it. It's still in garage. Still painted. I also poured a little bit of gasoline in the jar. Just to see how it'd effect it. Split to layers. Fluid on bottom, gas on top. The ring is soaking above and below the line.
Paint is still sticking. Annoyingly sticking......Warne steel ring.

Yep, their fusion series is no joke. It takes about 3 weeks for it to cure 100%, but after that it's as tough as any other sprayed on coating.
