I screwed up the paint job, and went from dark to light, instead of the other way around.  Might work okay for fall or thick brush. I'm not a painter by trade. |

Always go light to dark.
Being just north of you, the environment is more or less the same. With that said I've found that dropping green completely and using just various browns is more effective 80% of the year. |

There isn't much in the way of undergrowth here, just dead vegetation due to the canopy of evergreens and oaks. Good thing about spray paint is that I can just do it over. No need to strip it off right?

Question for the sprayers. I'm planning on doing my entire varmint rifle and wanted some advice. Should I just cover my scope glass and let the paint fly? Any issues painting stainless barrel? Did a couple test runs with some p mags. Planning on using Rusto Camo khaki and earth brown as base color with net stencil.

 Spent an hour on this tonight. I'm happy with how it came out. MOE K2+ grip is a little rubberized, but I tried a spot on it anyway. Didn't work well. It'll wear off after a few uses. |

Yeah I kept it simple and used mostly dark brown and green for the stencils. real ferns looked about the same anyways when I used em...but more of a pita to use lol. I just got lightroom back so here are some HI-Res pics I will dump into here.         |
