    painting my rifle for the first time today. PIC HEAVY

    Decided I wanted to paint one of my rifles this past week and below are the results. Pretty painless method. This is the first time i've done anything like this so its not perfect, but it will get the job done. Started out with a savage 93. Here are the results from along the way...

    Supplies:
    Spray paint. I used the Krylon Camo colors khaki, green, and brown
    Blue painters tape
    Acetone to clean the barrel
    Sandpaper to rough up the stock (I used 80 grit)
    Razors
    Beer


    Rifle before the paint and prep work. Ensure when prepping you cover the action and internals with some sort of protection (I used blue painters tape) I also used placed a foam ear plug into the muzzle to prevent tape from getting into the barrel. Sorry I don't have a picture of it prepped.


    After getting a few base coats of tan. Use long sweeping motions so you dont get drips and runs.


    After a solid base was built I added some green. I did this by laying some wide grass against the rifle and spraying shorts bursts at it.




    Next was the brown, didn't spray as much of this. Tried to keep the overall paint scheme somewhat light.





    Finished! Threw it in some weeds and dead leaves to see how it looks.


    And then a quick pic inside

    Very nice
    Our founding fathers, in their infinite wisdom, had the foresight to put America on the opposite side of the globe from everyone else.

    I thank them for it.

    That looks good. I recently just painted my Marlin 882 22WMR. I was going to paint it a military digi-cam pattern but after I laid the base coat of desert tan I decided to keep it that way for now. If I get sick of it I might try the digi-cam idea.
