I built this with the sole intention of painting it. Mostly rattle can with a little sponge.
Anderson stripped upper Anderson stripped lower PSA Freedom lower kit PSA upper parts PSA hybrid BCG (from parts) CDNN no-name barrel YHM flash hider Magpul sights, grip and ladder covers Fortis Rev from the EE MI Keymod covers As built.... 
Colors are all Krylon Camo series: Sand, Flat Brown, Deep Forest Green, Army Green, Khaki A few pieces of tape for some black spots.... 
Light coat of Sand..... 
Some spotting in of Flat Brown. Not shown. Sorry. Got anxious and forgot to take a pic. Some tape covering the Sand and Flat Brown..... 
Deep Forest Green.... 
Pull the tape off and add in some sponge of Army Green, smidge of Flat Brown and some Khaki. 
I think just a little bit more of some sponged Flat Brown on some of the lighter spots, if not a sponged flat black or something. But otherwise, I'm happy enough that I don't have to worry about stripping it all off, LOL. |

Painted my Tikka .308 today. This is just the base, sponge camo. When it's done I hope to try and replicate ATACS camo as close as possible.
Base coat of khaki krylon with stripes of olive and woodland light green. Couldnt bring myself to paint the Leupold though, it'll stay black for now.  </a>IMG_0637 by gatoslayer, on Flickr" />

New Paint Job this weekend!
Paint used: Rust-oleum Camo Khaki Earth Brown Deep Forest Green Army Green Matte Clear Step 1: remove Optics and light and cleaned those with alcohol. Sprayed everything else down with brake cleaner and let dry. Step 2: Tape off everything you don't want painted, optic lenses, light, laser,, trigger, mag housing. Step 3: I painted the rails where my optics and light was, let it dry and remounted. Step 4: Applied 2 coats of Khaki to everything. Step 4: I went for the sponge method Sponge Earth Brown, Dark Forest Green, Army Green, then I sponged Khaki again to lighten areas up. NOW LET DRY OVERNIGHT Now I rubbed it down very lightly with 0000 steel wool. Sprayed with 2 coats of Matte finish(I tried the Valspar flat clear but it misted too fine and didn't like it) rubbing lightly with 0000 steel wool to smooth after each coat. Wish I took pictures after each stage!

I never have been able to figure out, what's the appeal of aervoe? Seems to look just like krylon to me, why do people pay through the nose for it in comparison?

started with an aervoe khaki base, sponged on black, field drab, and olive. 
felt it was missing something so added more black and some earth brown. hated it sponged on more khaki, then dusted the whole thing with earth yellow. now its one of my favorites

First try at rattle can. Used random twigs and stuff. Three colors of Rustoleum camo.
Only prep I did was to stuff some foam into the FH and a quick wipe with a rag.
