Trying my hand at doing an outfitter camo pattern.
2 colors are matching pretty well, but I can't figure out or find the 3rd so far.
Might go by Hobby Lobby, and see what they may have ?
Who has a large selection of flat colors I may find the one I'm looking for ?

Looking good! Why are your two base colors shown?

Huntsman,
I'm going to look at Ace for a bit more of a tan color.
Looking at several pieces of clothing, none have that dark of a brown.

WAM, not sure why your asking why ?

I tried a few tan paints, but I liked the darker brown better.
So whatta y'all think ?

It looks pretty nice. Did you overspray it with anything to protect the finish?

257 Weatherby Vanguard that's been Cerakoted, and my Remington 700, 7-08, that was Duracoted.
Both ready for any weather conditions now.

Typo. WHAT are your base color paints. I want to try it! What technique did you use to limit overspray in the pattern?

I'll get the colors for you in a bit, but I used the light color to cover the entire stock.
We had a pizza the other night and I used the cardboard from under it to make a pattern on.
Cut it out, and used blue painter's tape to block off some of it for smaller areas.
I did the green first, and filled in with brown..
I have clear gloss, so I'm going to get a can of matt to cover.

Man, I’ve got some wool clothes that someone really needs when they’re carrying them. They’d match perfectly!
