My attempt at multicam, but ended up more dark woodland.
Colors were: Aervoe sand, Rustoleum camo earth brown, Rustoleum flat brown, Rustoleum camo army green, Rustoleum satin hunt club green.
I used freedom stencil multicam stencils.
If I had to do it over, the only step I would have done different, would have been toward the end, I'd have done a dark coat with light sand coat
gradients, so it would have turned out a bit lighter.
Base coat with first stencils.

Second coat with slightly more stencils.

Painted lighter green with gradients of dark green.

Light sand color coat with gradients of dark brown.

Dusted with light sand to help lighten it up a bit.

Pretty much nailed the pattern with the stencils. I’ve done a couple MC rifles and I actually prefer when you make the palette your own, so to speak. IIRC I posted one on LF many years ago. Used Aervoe Sand, Highlander, MC Green, light green (maybe?) and OD. Aervoe was awesome and held up well. Too bad that I’ve read it’s discontinued. I’ve got an OD rifle that I really want to tiger stripe.

It actually lightened up a bit more curing in my safe with the golden rod in it.
I'm quite fond of it now, but the Unity mount is driving me nuts for some reason.
Aervoe had some really awesome colors, don't know why they discontinued the military colors.

6 or 3 color DCU? I've done 3 color tan, brown but a darker green instead of the other light green in Afghanistan.

Light green as a base came out way too light. Using the OD Green as a base is perfect.

I am done painting expensive optics. I don't blame you

I've painted my ACOG 3 or 4 times. After I stripped it years ago you couldn't tell I ever painted it except in some minor nooks. Granted it's been dropped onto concrete and blown up a couple times so maybe that hides the paint.

OK....... So I drank over a half a pint of Bird Dog Burbon yesterday afternoon, doing yardwork, and decided to 'F*ck Around & Find Out' what I could do with masking tape and a .45 cal wad cutting tool

I'm really digging the Aervoe Earth Yellow. Used it as the base, Rustoleum Deep Forrest Green Camo, and Rustoleum Dark Grey Primer sprayed over the mask.
Took these pics as soon as the sun cut through the fog this morning
