I have two cans of alumahyde.

Od green and tan.


Trying to figure out if the rifle should be green and the stock tan or the rifle tan and the stock green.


Going to be two tone regardless.

But if you’re sticking with solids, go with tan on the barrel to minimize heat mirage through scope?

Why separate the colors by stock vs metal? You could do a two-tone on both with a simple camo pattern.

Spray the whole thing green, and then lay your local foliage over it and hit it with the tan. then it'll be mostly tan with green foliage to break it up.

I've used pine sprigs and small leaves, works well.

One assumes this will be a family project and camo is much more fun.

Two tone camo. Or add a third color, like brown.

I hadn't thought about camo.

The gun is an older Winchester Stealth II.
22-250


I have been going to paint it for a while....but now that everyone has gone nuts for prairie dog shooting I had better get it finished.

For some reason...the stupid this was made to rust. Never could get it to quit.


It even would corrode under aluminum scope bases.



Tiger stripe......hmmmm....

Just a thought. Clean, mask & take time hitting the barreled action with satin/flat black, & put it up.

Give boys a few odd pieces of stencils to lay down, cut out paper curves, leaves, wads of grass, etc., the 2 cans of paint, & the stock.. Maybe have them watch a few youtube vids of spraying one. It might look like crap, or an artist might emerge. A win either way.


A buddy bought a really ugly 870 turkey gun once for cheap. It had been cameoed with gloss paint. But aside from the poor paint choice, the patterns were really good. My wife, cousin Daisey saw it, a faint outline of a Camel on the side of the buttstock & quickly, wittingly called the pattern,,,, Camelflage. Everybody loved that gun.
