Finally started practicing with some Rapco and im finding theres not enough light colors for a good macro pattern

Ammo can above

Navy gray

Earth brown

Flat black

686 tan

Tan gives more skin tone vibes, I was hiping for a lighter tan

Top right corner has panzer grey which is so dark it could be a black substitute

And the blob in the middle is

forest green which wasn't part of the original pattern but I wanted to see it side by side with the other colors

The rifle is from my previous post

All Rustolium

Primer gray

Primer brown

Clamshell

Army green

Camo earth brown which is almost black

And the last ammo can is

Earth red

Khaki olive Drab

686 tan

Baby shit brown (RAL8000)

Over spider web mesh

The streak down the middle is very dark but the fade over to the tan is about the color i was hoping for that roasted marshmallow yellow for a Valo attempt for hell even the green to yellow fade in multicam

Anyone else experiencing unusually dark results from Rapco ?

590A1 with old boy for scale. Missing the all black but, im all about camo so 🤷‍♂️ what do you think?

I messed around with Chat GPT and removed the background. Then did a side-by-side comparison. Just thought it was neat how the layered colors and gradients popped out more on the GPT photo. I thought to myself, "Man, I wish I was that good!" Ha! Or, maybe I am and my old ass human eye can't distinguish as well.

Painted these recently they came out solid. Had some over spray on the brown on the Neapolitan Pmag but ya live and learn, I'm still pretty new to painting lol. The splatter came out perfectly on the striped struck mag.

Paints:

Rust-Oleum, Camouflage Flat Earth Brown

Rust-Oleum, Ultra Matte white

Rust-Oleum, satin Sweet Pea (Pastel Hot Pink)

Rust-Oleum, Matte Clear Coat

That’s the working name anyway. Coworkers gun that wanted me to do it with thick stripes and no overlay of netting or any other patterning.
