Post some pics of your creations up!!!
I'm open for ideas.
Im just a rookie at this spray paint syn stock stuff.

Lots of trial and error it seems like to me until you get some experience built up.

Like others have on here.
Show us some pics man!!!
Dont be shy dude.
Share some knowledge and examples of your work.
It,s what the place is about when ya get down to the nitty gritty.

Sharing knowledge, experience, and pics espeically!!!!

For everyone of us posting stuff their are probably 10 15 20 guys looking at the thread picking up on stuff in one way or the other.

Its a win win situation for all.

People have probably even learned from my test crash dummy stuff on here.

I know acetone and steel wool works great!!!!!

LOL!!!


Renegade: I don't have pics handy but what's turned out good for me is a base coat of O.D., overlaid by clusters of long-leaf pine needles and then sprayed with flat khaki so the pine needle pattern shows up green on the tan background. I don't stick the pine needles to the stock, just lay 'em on there so you have to turn it a few times. Krylon dries fast though.



Ok ...
3rd attempt.....
I got the base in a olive green I can hang with.
Much better than gumby green of yesterday...
Lol!!!

The temptation to do some vegetation over shoot in matte black and matte brown is really frigging tempting.
I'm gonna let this olive green dry for 48 hrs.
Decide to either spray a matte clear coat on or go the route your saying and then matte clear coat.


Like cashisking said.
This spray painting syn stock schitt is a rabbit hole you can fall into deep.

Damn, you're more industrious than I was, I'd let the base coat dry for at least 15 minutes.......
