Just an idea I came up with after looking at vids of different techniques.
Got an idea to check out hobby lobby for stuff.
I kinda like the pattern it makes

Their is one on the web using elmers glue as a pattern.
I posted a vid about that.

The water dipping swirl stuff looks interesting also.

Im just going a dark od green for turkey season till this summer .
Then experiment again with it and see what happens.

Fugging 60,s flower pot x2 .
Trying to unfugg and salvage a disater.

I cant remember who said it after my 1st attempt.
But they nailed it.
LOL!!!

If I can just nail down this black base with webbing and green over spray.
I would probably be satisfied.

The webbing job on # 2 was better than # 1
But the gumby green that came outta that can sure as fugg wasnt dark Spanish moss matte like on the cap and label.


Be nice if the places that sell spray paint would have a test shot panel with employee approval.
2 or 3 blast after a good shaking.
Buy that can.
But then lowes, home depot, and wally world would have a schit load of cans from change you mind types.
I woulda caught that gumby green versus the cap and label color.
And the project woulda had clear matte done to it today.
And gun put back together on thurs or fri.


Schitt happens.
I know I aint color blind.
Lol!!

Never heard of such a thing.


Spray only operation here...

Given your set up, and apparent desired outcome, I would suggest the sponge on methodology. Start with a base coat, solid or even two tone. Then sponge on your desired camo colors. No nets, no leaves, just you and the paint with creativity flowing like the eternal Campfire flame....

Buy proper camo specific green

LOL!!!

Also was involved in the term Blue Falcon spreading thru the 101st
Summer 91.
16 of us e6,s and e5p,s from all 3 IN Rgts Camp Hinsch 11 Series BNCOC class 5-91.

A blue falcon was our class mural we painted.
SSG Dwayne Cox ( eventually CSM Cox 5th SFG) came out with the blue falcon and dyno mutt concept out in the smoking area one day.
Outta the blue cause he said it was akin to the stunts we was all pulling on each.

We all was always trying to buddy f u c k each in the stupidest schit at times.
Buncha infantry sqd ldrs from all different units just back from desert storm.
Good times........

I did a bunch a Remington 700 take off ADL stocks that I had no use for and was able to move along at "exit" pricing of around $75 each.



Good luck with your project.


Good job, Cash. Can you teach Rene?

From what I see, the spray paint is too close, and too heavy on the texture wrapped stock. The paint gets around the texture when spraying, and won't give you the desired results.

Heavy spray isn't always your friend. wink

Heavy spray was a factor I was thinking also with the wrap.
Needed someone with experience like yourself to say it.
Why I'm seeking advice and opinons.


If I redo this thing in the next couple days.
I might just go with a simple Dark OD green.
Roll with it thru Thunder Chicken season.
Then try the webbing technique again this summer.

Learning every time I do it.
Which aint a bad thing...

Even fugging blinking your eyes too fast or too much when some get in real close like under 10 yds for various reasons can fugg up your day.


Yep, they bust me every time when I'm in a treestand bowhunting deer. I don't even twitch and they still bust me.


Yep, even with total camo including camo vanes and nocks. frown

Think I'll go with a few of these.. Camo Spray

Used the green to match a scratch on a Brown Precision stock.. Perfect match.
