Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats A Simple Pictorial of DIY Camo Stock Painting

I did not. Just Krylon and Rustoleum rattle-can and Krylon matte clear-coat. Seems that this combination stands up to bumps and dings so-so, but some solvents will ruin it in a flash.

MS, any tips for how to get the wax paper separated from the tape so you can peel them apart? I made up a few and they are hard to get separated.

I used my x-acto to carefully start separation at a point where the blue tape overlapped. It was a bit frustrating. But at those "joints" in the tape, there seemed to be a bit of separation already. The waxed paper looks lighter at those seams.

Ahh, got it, thanks.

Hmm, not sure if I got bad wax paper or bad tape, but they won't separate. Seems like stores hardly stock wax paper any more, I went to two stores and only found one kind, it was an off brand.

Are both sides of the paper "waxed"?

Yup, I couldn't see any difference.

Just toured the house to find what I used. I used Reynolds brand waxed paper and 3M #2090 Medium Adhesion tape. Hope this helps.

Thanks. I have neither of those, I'll re-load and try again. Got some good practice cutting stencils yesterday though.....

MS, thanks for taking the time and posting. Where can one get the stencils if not DIY?

This is what I've used with dandy results.

Thank you.

I'm no artist but I had to give the Vias a shot. I learned that cheap tape is no good for clean lines, but it is a hunting gun and not a showpiece. Its one of those much maligned T3s (picked it up cheap from a divorce sale) in 300wm. It shoots bugholes so I will keep beating on it. Thanks MShuntfish for the tutorial.



The tan is a bit darker than the actual Vias, but I had it on hand already.

Looks better than my attempt at Vais.

Smoke used Saran Wrap Duh....

Thats a slick job. I am ever warming to the Gap camo. Have some Barbie colors from the kids stocks I am going to treat little ones Chipmunk too.. Will post..
