    Very nice!

    What it looks like you put down a tan as a base and then sprayed over it with green. What did you use for a pattern or did you just spray in stripes?

    Correct - tan base, with light mist strips of brown/green....

    Well it looks great, thanks for the info.

    I'm going to take the plunge with krylon myself soon, but given the weather it may have wait a bit.

    Did you put primer down on the metal parts first?

    If you mean primer as in a degreaser? no, everything was relatively clean and dry.

    Beautiful. I've got two cans of every camo color Krylon makes just waiting to get the balls to paint my 6920 w/ Short Dot. The paint comes off right?

    I don't have a need for a painted rifle; black is just fine.....

    Then I get to looking at the painted ones and they all look good.

    Looks great!


    UserName: It comes off relatively easy. Just need a brush, some gloves, and some mineral spirits or brake cleaner/carb cleaner (non chlorinated) and a wee bit of elbow grease.

    If you need pics of before and after of removing Krylon to see how it looks IM me and I'll send ya some, just for re-assurance.
