The Green stock on the Hog Hunter stood out like a sore thumb here in Texas so I decided to camo it using natural sponges and spray paint. Below are before and after pics.  I am now thinking about doing the same thing to a couple of my AR's. Comments or Opinions are welcomed.

Wow, that is a great job!

Damn OP, that looks good

Damn nice tree and a stack of wood you got there....

I cant see it?

Looks perfect next to the tree.

Fantastic job, I had to look twice.

Looks great!!!

That's nice, but you forgot to include your rifle in the last 2 pics.

My opinion is that it looks great.

Thanks Guys!

Don't lay it down in the woods you may lose it.

Don't put it down while shitting in the field, you'll lose it.

Looks dang good to me. I turned my 7 year old loose on my hog Hunter with the krylon too

Was going to post the exact same thing!  

Good job on the camo OP!

Thanks, I also did an AR and a 300 Winny bolt the same way....

Now if I could just find them.

Wasn't expecting that when I saw the title. Great job!  Tutorial somewhere?

Awesome work, I seriously missed it scrolling thru the second pic.

I suppose I could do a tutorial but it's really pretty simple.

KEY: Clean the item to be painted extremely well. I use acetone, alcohol and brake cleaner as necessary. Mask off any pieces you don't want painted with blue painters tape.

1. Match local outdoor colors with flat spray paint. Doesn't always have to be camo paint, just as long as it's flat.
2. No need to do more than 3 or 4 colors.
3. Tear off pieces of a natural sponge so that you have different sizes and patterns. I find smaller (not tiny) work better.
4. Starting with lightest color first, usually a beige or khaki, shake it well, spray the entire piece to be painted in several light coats. You should now have a completely beige painted item. Let it dry for a few hours.
5. Now, starting with the next darkest color, spray it into a small container so that the paint forms a puddle. The can should be pretty close to the container when you spray.
6. Dip the sponge in the paint gently. You don't want a sopping wet sponge or the pattern will just be a blob. You want to see the texture of the sponge.
7. Dab the sponge on the piece to be painted in random fashion. Re-wet the sponge as needed. When the sponge gets too gloppy grab another piece.
8. Let the piece dry well (couple hours) between coats. Move on to the next color and the next.
9. If you have too much of one color you can go back over it with the other colors to make it look the way you want.
10. After it fully dries (~2 days) spray a light coat of a flat or matte clear finish. I find the Valspar matte finish works the best. This is key to having a long lasting paint job. Let it dry a good day.
11. After the light coat of clear has dried it may look slightly shiny. A gentle brushing with 0000 wool will knock it down to a nice dull flat finish.
12. Sit back and admire your handiwork.

Unreal!     That's the shit!
