Rattle can camo patterns

[shooterfpga]

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.

Ive been doing a bit of a hybrid camo pattern that seems to work well. Its a little bit of fishnetting and a little bit of coarse sponge mixed with striping. Any type of irregular striping will do. To do that i use tape and tear or precut them jagged and on a whim. Then i spray over or sponge over it.


With netting the tighter to the weapon the better. I like to use wider spaced netting and if you go to walmart or academy you should be able to find some cheap.

Those mesh things they put around bottles at the liquor store look like snake skin when you stretch them out.

Good find. I also seem to want to remember onion bags having similar material?

I painted a stripe on a car with it a long time ago. Looked pretty good.

Ask the wife/girlfriend for some help with that, they come in a bunch of different textures, patterns, etc........................ijs.

I love rattle can paint jobs. What's the technique for the 550 cord? Some rattle cans will have nozzles that spray in a fan pattern instead of a cone. With those you can make thin lines by moving the can quickly in the direction of the fan. I would recommend starting with the lighter colors and then layering darker ones on top.

Here's one I did with a combination of tape, patterns, and freehand. The scope is factory camo.

Not much to it.

Paint a base color, then wrap 550 cord randomly around the stock. Paint next color and wrap 550 cord randomly again, then paint the final coat.The second color will show the least amount.

Those Kryptec style camo patterns are really starting to grow on me. Thinking about going that route, on one of my budget builds from the Anderson lowers I picked up.

Hobby lobby get the stencil paper and then print out a kryptek stencil and cut it out.

That's looks pretty cool, but I would omit the clear, I like the flat look.

I shoot satin clear over it lately and it keeps a non glossed protected finish.

Yep. Two AR uppers(one complete rifle) and a pelican case.

Three colors. Starting with olive drab. Followed by tan. Finished with a yellow green. Used a bush branch as a pattern.

Dry misted the objects with the same colors. Same order. Finished with limeish green. It looks like mold growing off the rifle.

Each time, set in the weeds. Colors adjusted till I couldn't see it. Bright sunlight, partial coverage using foliage.

Both of these were done with big (post office sized) rubber bands.

Does anybody use a quality clear coat or just leave it to wear? A buddy has a rattle can noveske and it looks like it's been dragged behind a truck for 3 years... I think it looks awesome!
