I know that there is a similar sticky on this but I have seen many more examples posted throughout the years.

Can you guys give me some examples of your favorite EDGE paint jobs or granite specs combo's that you have. I'm looking to order one or two and would like to see how they look especially in conjunction with different color metals.

Thanks all!

Black with brown specs. It didn't turn out like I planned, but I have no complaints. Probably should have went black, with grey specs.

I've posted these before but here you go.

Back rifle has a Classic Edge in dark grey with black & white speckle.
Middle is brown with black speckle & red recoil pad.
Front is olive green with black & tan speckle, really like this combo with stainless. If you hit quote pic will show a little better.

Grey with black speckle, also previously posted.

I should have an olive with black and tan speckle later this week also.

You know what i think would be tits--black with red and white speckle. I have a plain black edge that I might ship off to Eddie for some red and white speckle eventually. Right now I have too many projects--guided elk hunt next year, wood stocking a 30-06, 25-06 almost back from Redneck, all the parts for a 6 BR�I need to slow my roll and finish paying for the elk hunt as the #1 priority!

The grey rifle in back looks the best!

Since I live in a combination of prairie/mountain country, I painted mine with a base of solid olive and when it was dry, laid a bunch of sage brush over the stock and hit it with the tan. The second side looks better than the first. I found that the more brush you lay on the stock before the coat of tan, the better contrast you will have. YMMV.

A KS pattern stock, painted with a base color of green. I should have been more clear in my post.

Thanks for the clarification George. I'm looking forward to your pic(s)... McMillan Green with Black Specs is what I've had in mind for my next handle...

Super Nice... would like to see a closeup, but in your pic it seems to accomplish what I want, which it to make the McMillan Green more OD.

McMillan does a pretty poor job with their colors IMO.

Here's a couple a little closer, shows the speckle a bit better. If you hit the "quote" it comes up really big and you can see it pretty good.

Brad, I have a hunters edge in green with black AND gray specs. I think that combo dulls it up even a bit more. The gray doesn't really stand out as individual specks the way black or tan specks do. I'll try to get some pics up next week, on my way out of town tonight to do some deer hunting. Shoot me a reminder next week if you don't hear back from me.

Yep that's what mine looks like. Metal-work will be green as well so once that comes in I'll post up

if you let them know what you are doing they will do what they call the "gel patch" so the patches come out clear.
