I love this pattern. I'm looking for one with the netting on part of it. Do you have any pics or suggestions for one of those?

This is the one that I am talking about. It was done by 7.62 precision.

I used laundry garmet bag and first layed it out flat and sprayed with spray paint so it was ridged. u can also leave it loose(non ridged) put it over the gun. make relief cuts as needed and then pull it tight with sewing thread aroung the gun.
Heres another TIP if your gun is parkerized or has that sandy finish DO NOT USE IT as your base coat for the black scales . The guns factory finish will suck the duracoat up and allow the paint to move under the net result in a big mess. you will need to spray a thin black base first then lay the net down and the go ti town on the stripe colors . also duracoat wont stick rubber ie. butler creek scope covers without flexible primer adhesion promoter. also do it ALL at once my scope and shade were done at different dates and i couldnt get them to match up on the seam . Heres a pic of my Remington 700 .308 tactical.

That is:
1: A very very baddA** gun
2: My favorite incarnation of this pattern I've seen yet! Awesome!

It looks like a mean rattle snake was stretched out over the rifle, just sick!

here are some coupons I used while working out the pattern I wanted to use. They look rough since I didn't bake any of the layers and I used paper towel pieces to mask it with (I like the more jagged edge)


Here is a buck mark pistol I did the final on.

I'll try a rifle once I get some feedback on the maximum temp the plastics can take. I don't want to screw up a stock since I use KG Gunkote, and have to bake it.
If the temp isn't the full cure temp or greater, then I'll par-bake it, and then spray it with their stock kote clear (1209f).

Thank you for posting the how-to, It helped a lot. I'll post more here as I do them.
