80% Testors model piant thinner, to 22% Testors flat black paint. Apply it with a cotton ball. Remember its not about making pretty leaf and twig patterns, its about breaking up the outline, so who cares about smudges?!

I clean everything with denatured alcohol the use Krylon camouflage ultra-flat paint. it wears off over time with use but that is an excuse to try some other colors.

Yes, 102%, that extra...push over the cliff...you know.
Also, if you want it thicker, add baby powder to the mix. The baby powder will both thicken and make the finish more "dull". |

I started to do that but after a while i just held a couple smaller ones about 6 to 8 inches in length in my hand as a spayed then moved to a different spot and did the same thing until i got the desired look i wanted.

I'm a bit South of you in Corvallis. never been a big hunter, just have an itch to paint a rifle or two. I've been trying to figure out how to do it and what type of paint to use. I've heard it's not good to mix enamel and lacquer. I'll swing by Fred Meyer tomorow to check out the selection. I'm thinking I'll start with a USGI M14 stock and see how that goes.
Best Regards, J |
