Spray paint is hard
(Its not) 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!!! I dont want to shame you. Really??? I'm disappointed you wont share your work. I wont be embarrased one bit. Come on man put up some pics Share what you do . Not just so that I can see it, but others also!!! Please..........

You dont seem to sleep man LOL Wife gets up for work early somedays. I get up too with her sometimes. The token gesture of support my momentary feeling of guilt from being retired causes.   It's a tremendous burden on my mind. Its goes away rapidly though each day about 2.67 seconds after she leavez LOL!!!!

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. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/hPG9MzY5/20210224-142921.jpg)

Somebody has too much time on their hands........
"DUMPASAURUS REX" was the only real creativity in all this.
I do think the artist has been a bit anal so far.

That cracked me up, I did the retirement thing last summer, I still get up with her and most times cook breakfast. Do the home cook breakfast thing because the damn China flu has give all the used to be good restaurants an excuse to go to hell. And I kinda liked the 60's flower power look I'm working on having some fun thus spring when the damn floods recede. Carry on!

I have clearly stated numerous times over the years I am ate the fugg up with OCD on any gun project I do.. woot woot!!! This syn stock spray painting thing is new to me. If I had taken it up yrs ago it would be mundane to me now. I did spend 2.5 hrs looking for the right green this morning. Didn't tell anyone at lowes, home depot, walmart, and rural king that I was doing some clandestine test shoots on display rack beam and a couple of convenient prices tags. Lol!!! Aint like I aint got nothing else to do till turkey ramps up!! Then I can bombard the forum with pics or it never happened post out turkey hunting. People on here love or hate those threads. LOL!!! What else is their to do right now????? I do have to put up the 2ft extension on the fence when the 14 ga horse fencing comes in that I ordered last friday. Got all the hog clips, poles, metal fence ties, and top runner wire. Cause Baylor the " wonder hound" is one fence jumping mofo. LOL!!! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/NfvbQ7d2/20210217-131705.jpg) I suppose I could change the oil in my truck tommorow. Maybe....... Got all that ready to go in the garage. Tonight that new show " resident alien" is on at 9pm Cst on sci fi channel. So I got that to look forward too. Watching forged in fire reruns right now. Fixing to feed Blackjack right now. Gotta go!!!!! LOL!!!

Looks like the color of well weathered fatigues to me...
How much did you shake the can?
Some colors need more mixing otherwise the color changes as you work through the can...

Some colors need more mixing otherwise the color changes as you work through the can... 1- 2 mins per instructions of various brands. This is what i found today that I used. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/J7qTtstz/20210224-143324.jpg)

There ain’t nothing wrong with that imo. ^ ^ ^ this ^ ^ ^ I'm not seeing anything wrong with it Put the gun together and use it. If somebody criticizes it, a buttstroke to the teefs should quiet things back down

That green looks good. Black webb or black and gold webb.
Call it done.
If you want more functional than pretty, hit that w black and tan in spots and call it done.
Or....try to some stuff and see what happens.
Entertaining thread. Good for giving folks ideas.
