I'm IN on this. Post your experience and lotsa pics!I will ultimately do the same to one/some of my rifles. There are nice adhesive options for less than $40 I've seen at one point recently if you don't want to deal with painting.
Have you ever given the dip camo kits a shake? They have a bit of a learning curve, but look real nice when done properly. The kits come with enough to experiment a bit before dropping your stock in. I gave them a whirl with 2 of my cheap shotguns - woodland on one and reeds on the other (lots of digital colours available). After the 'dip' I hit them with some matte clearcoat, and the finish has held up very nicely - I don't baby those guns. They aren't exactly cheap (up around $100), but would take much less time and mess than a manual paint job - just start with a layer of duracoat, and don't let it fully dry (about 4ish hours), and then like I said, clearcoat it for protection. I went with a matte job so it wouldn;t catch a big glare, but I've seen some finished with a high gloss and while it may not be the most practical, boy does it look sweet.
I'm good with cameras like my girl is good at being quiet in the woods - not at all. I can shoot the wings off a butterfly that lands 50 yards away with a 30-06, but I can't shoot a decent picture of a gun laying at my feet to save my life! But I will get something over for you to look at.For reference, this is what inspired me to do my shotgun in the woodland pattern. Result quality was the same, but I did mine with a matte coat and this one is pretty glossy (I just didn't see the point of 'camoflaging' something and then making it shiny as a new quarter. Natural woodlands don't gleam!)Quote from: devdem on December 13, 2012, 01:45:07 PMI'm IN on this. Post your experience and lotsa pics!I will ultimately do the same to one/some of my rifles.
