Light green is a choice. I think it's the only color that's OOS, I'm in need of some of it, too. It's the best Green for the East Coast, IMO. It has the perfect amount of yellow that our grass does. |

I had a 300BLK setup that was tan with black spider web paint. Unfortunately tan rifles and the east coast don't work well together. So I printed up some marpat-esque stencils on the Cricut and used the tan as a base for some light green, brown, and black. The colors work pretty well right now on the SC coast.

Threw some paint on my hunting 6.8 and wasn't happy, the base Green was too light and I didn't like the stencil pattern. Since its 72 degrees today, I repainted it with my ole standby sponge camo. The colors should work well in summer and fall here in SC.

Anytime there's been shine, it's gone in a week or two- usually a few days- but you do you. Since you already have it marinating in Citri Strip, I would take it out once in a while and scrub off the loose paint. That will speed up the process considerably. |
