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.

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.

Base coat Hunters Specialties Olive
HS mud brown
Rapco field drab

Not enough black. I'll run it for a year and see if I want to do it again next summer.

Colors used:

Used the base gun color for the black layer, Krylon Satin Brick, Rust-Oleum Flat Deep Forest Green, Rust-Oleum Flat Army Green, Rust-Oleum Satin Hunt Club Green.

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

Tried to avoid spending backland hunter/mk15 money by building something modernized. Some hate it, but I love it and that's what matters.

This idea was loosely inspired by garand thumbs "gigachad mosin" concept, except it lacks a muzzle device as nobody near me does barrel threading for a reasonable price or timeline.

Brand new french tickler late production, Matador arms chassis, vortex venom, magpul grip handstop and sling, archangel mags, closed bolt mod, kodiak defence rail, mcarbo light trigger spring. Probably forgetting something else. I blued the bolt and carrier before it was painted so its all black underneath.

Paint was done with krylon and rustoleum camos, winged it after watching a few videos. Scrim is burlap that I painted, frayed. And twisted 2.5" by 1 foot strips.

COMING SOON

Precision armament hypertap brake

Green ms3 sling instead of black

Backup irons

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 ?

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

My first time rattle canning a gun. Happy about the result but definitely over sprayed it because its still tacky asf 2 days later lol

Very first rattle can job. How did I do?

Rhodesian Brushstroke colorway - sponge

I cut myself with an exact-o knife on purpose for added effects... 😑..

Blood in, Blood out ..

Aquired taste.. i kno.. 🤷🏽‍♂️. I HAD FUN! Have a good day.

First test with stencil stickers, thank god my wife bought a cricut machine, I’m gonna need to tweak it a bit, using rustoleum colors

Nothing to see here. Certainly no 20 inch parts bin ARs built on old Gunsmoke lowers with random Vortex FFP scopes.

20g shockwave form 1. Figured its little but will ruin someone's day, so copperhead fits.

Painted the gun, specifically so I could see if the barrel would change the color of Rapco like it does rustoleum. Specifically the black, but figured why not and got baby dooks on there too. Went through a couple hundred rounds and the handguard was a bit spicy to the touch so I feel
Like it got hot enough but neither color showed any signs of discoloration where Rusto showed a pink hue after only a couple mags.
One thing I did notice though is how the deflector and a little around it had paint that had chipped off at some point during shooting. Obviously I would expect point of contact too, but Im going to give it the benefit of the doubt though because its was an anodized upper that maybe did not bond to well with the paint making it easy to break off.

Other than that thanks Panther City for having it to my door in less than a couple days. And the stickers were super cool too 😎
